Do you see how the fact that you cant point to a path for these things to happen is the problem? The thing about immunity is just confirmation for what always has been, its not a new ruling. When they pretend like this is something new they are lying to you, its just now formalized.
Presidential immunity is not a new thing. It's not just me saying that. A lot of people who are experts in the law are saying that, including the dissenting justices.
The president can now do everything up to and including having their opponent assassinated by the military. There's a good video about this here.
Legal eagle is a biased person, he has bought into the propaganda just like all the rest of you guys.
The fact that someone insufficiently familiar with law can't point to a path for these things doesn't mean that someone with more knowledge can't. Also, how are you so sure it isn't you who's being lied to?
Because I can look at what all the presidents in my lifetime have done and have zero consequences to. Trying to pretend that just now they cant get away with doing whatever they want is just silly. How many wars/conflicts have the presidents started on their own the few decades?
