“Listen, just because some paid for Supreme Court justices make a ruling that you can do anything as an official act, doesn’t give you supreme executive power, that comes from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical corrupt judges.”
You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some compromised Justice threw immunity at you.
Yeah, but in those days a weak ruler meant a more evil ruler would take over thru violence or lack of support for the current ruler...
It's still true, but it was in those days too

And a weak ruler is one without a mandate of the masses.
Historically speaking, they don't hang on to power long.
