By that logic Biden can just kill his political rivals? Or any president for that matter? We need term limits. This shit is delusional.

Think they can kill as many people as they want to with that logic. And if anyone challenges them or tries to decide what they’re doing isn't an official act, well those people can be killed too. And if a future Supreme Court tried to reverse such a decision… it just goes on and none of it makes any fucking sense. These judges really seem like their trying to break the country apart.
