I've read a number of Substack and other analyses of the SCOTUS arguments and the words of the Justices and attorneys. It is stunning. When Justice Sotomayor asked about whether immunity would apply to assassination of a political rival and the answer was 'yes', I don't know how her hair and that of all the Justices and others didn't catch fire from their heads blowing up. How can anyone think this is Constitutional let alone considered for a democracy? Oh wait.. we are either not still one or soon not one.
I have no idea how to explain anyone’s even considering “absolute immunity.” The concept should not apply to any human.
Oh. Maybe that’s what I’ve missed.
Not human.
