The seal team would call that an illegal order under the ucmj. Hidden couldn't be prosecuted for giving the order, but the seal team would say no.
Biden could legally hire mercs to do the job and never once get called out on it.
Has the ruling not fully sunk in for you yet? He could legally find a way to do anything now. He could make it legal and override the ucmj. The hired guns (SEALs or mercs), in this hypothetical, would not say no. Especially not from the commander in chief with new dictator-level powers.
Yeah a lot people don't understand how serious this is.
He can't be imprisoned for it. That doesn't mean what he does is just allowed today any more than it was last week.
So, what happens when he officially declares mar-a-lago a threat to national security and takes it out? Because before this ruling, he could've been imprisoned at the very least. But somehow it's still the same now, even after this ruling? If that's the case, then why did the Supreme Court even rule?
Wtf are you on? It DOES mean exactly that. If laws now have no consequences, there are de facto no laws. How can anybody not see this?
