So no - a President who did this would be just as likely to be arrested for murder after the ruling as they are today, because it's not an official act of the President to order an assassination of a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil.

If this is accurate, then why didn’t the SCOTUS simply say “No person is above the law. Period.”

Instead they said a president has immunity for official acts.

One of these statements is different than the other.

3 Supreme Court justices and many Constitutional experts, on both sides of the aisle, have also raised serious concerns with this ruling.
