would wish that.

I would alert if I did.

and quickest way to get rid of that. I have been away more than usual because of the storms so I have not seen that but will certainly alert if I do.

There is more than 1 OP

it's way out of line.

That's the kind of post that can get the poster a visit from the FBI.

That has no place here

I have not seen one so hopefully someone did report, and they were removed.

People are asking - quite appropriately imo- if a president ordering such would fall within the bounds of the trump team’s argument.

...vulnerable to the whims of a dictator.

that many of them don't get it until they hear a hypothetical which touches them personally.

What I’ve seen is people talking about the implications of giving a President immunity using Biden ordering the assassination of justices as an example of that, not people actually calling for it.

What is being discussed is the discussion at SCOTUS by TSF's lawyer. Assassination was brought up during said discussion.

NO ONE on DU is advocating assassination.

If SCOTUS rules for immunity the next day Biden should "send them to Gitmo, though I wouldn't object to just having them killed"

I see that post has finally been hidden. It was not a new, or low post count poster.

There are several less explicit "just kidding" ones that are still up.

I think that about a lot of things.

Who knows maybe if it's repeated enough the SCOTUS justices will read and think, "Oh we can't have that..."

But then, they will just write some iron-clad decision with a work-around that will protect Trump and no one else. Like, "Total immunity applies for any president who served from the period Jan 20, 2017 - Jan 20, 2021. We base this on astronomical and astrological forces of the time period Jan 20, 2017 - Jan 20, 2021"

…the president who was 45th gets to commit crimes, but no other president can.

Indeed!

that explicitly mentions assassination that is still up.

This never would have been allowed in the past.

Edit: this post responce now has multiple Recs. No wonder it's still up.

No one is suggesting it be done.

eom

hypothetical thought exercises than actual wishing for it to happen.

If a hypothetical thought exercise needs too much explaining so as not to be mistaken for a suggestion, perhaps it should not be made at all. Clearly there are people here who understood it as a suggestion and not a hypothetical thought exercise.

People are over-whelmed by all the shit on the walls...

I have not seen one yet, and if I did I would report it.......sounds you may not be understanding the context.

That's my opinion. Think twice about it before you post it.

Lots of times I think about posts hurting people's feelings.

But, venting violent thoughts in DU is bad.

the right wing speaks of these things does not mean we should.

Ever.

We must be careful not to stoop to the adversary's cruelty and corruption, because if we do then how are we any better?

That kind of stuff is with the Alert button is for. One possible reason that you are seeing that is because there are people working in here to stir shit up. No DUer I have ever known would do so.

it ain't happening. I haven't seen anything like that

And itself a prohibited post. Others above say they have seen what I have.

If a president ordered the assassination of the chief justice because the president believed the justice to be corrupt, rather than a political opponent, would it be an official act.

I wanted justice Jackson to put the ridiculous argument to its logical extension. A president with immunity would just kill and replace the SCOTUS.

I was not advocating for it. But, it it is the logical end game.

Hey Clarence, you willing to give a guy who loves neoNazis and white supremacists the power to kill you without fear of prosecution?

...the ramifications of what's now being considered by the SC is not only an appropriate thing but also an important thing to do.

I haven't seen any posts "suggesting" any assassinations be committed though.

about the absurdity of presidential immunity.

If I won't tolerate it from the right, I won't excuse it from the left- hyperbole or no

Our goal should not be to be no worse than our opponents, we should be clearly better
