    It would give the president the legal authority to assassinate political rivals including Supreme Court justices. Hopefully even our currently corrupt SC understands that granting absolute power to any one person is a horrible idea.

      Yeah. He doesn’t even need to kill anyone. He could simply have all his political rivals arrested for crimes. He could even just have them be the crimes they have committed that aren’t normally enforced. Like the SCOTUS not declaring their gifts, improper congress procedures (gun procedures), insider trading, etc. Then if they are all in jail awaiting trial, they can’t do their jobs. Repeat until he has a Congress to approve removing them and appointing new justices.

      It’s an insane thing to agree with so I’m glad the courts understand that.
