My first thought exactly: the Democrats always project onto Republicans what they would like to do themselves.
Fortunately, they would have to go OUTSIDE military channels to do it:

					<description><![CDATA[Huh.  When President Obama ordered the targeted assassination of not one, but two US citizens, one of whom was a minor, nobody batted an eye (Anwar Al-Alawki and son).  Now we&#039;re supposed to panic?  If anyone should be worried, it&#039;s Donald Trump.  If, as the hysterics would have us believe, the President can now assassinate political rivals legally...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So here I finally found someone to explain how the presidential immunity case could possibly affect the Bragg/Merchan felony convictions. Evidence which Merchan allowed included tweets and conversations between Trump and White House staff &lt;i&gt;after Trump&#039;s inauguration&lt;/i&gt;. These are subject to either absolute or presumptive immunity, and the immunity status must be determined &lt;i&gt;before trial&lt;/i&gt;. This should call for a mistrial, according to this analysis by someone who says he is a former US attorney.

					<description><![CDATA[Om, yes I agree Barr didn&#039;t do enough as AG. Seemed afraid to look like a strong law &#038; order guy, as the left were always willing to scream that good decisions were proof Barr was in Trump&#039;s pocket.  
Also, Barr could have helped support those people (including me) saying the election fraud wasn&#039;t mythical &#038; deserved better from judges dismissing cases without a glance at evidence. 
Even if you agree that all those cases&#039; plaintiffs had no standing, I wish Barr had at least made strong statements to explain to The People that dismissal didn&#039;t mean no merit.
He was a coward who could have educated ignorant people, in his position. 
Bauxite,
I&#039;m not an &quot;always Trumper&quot;, I&#039;m a &quot;policies matter&quot; person, 100%.
I&#039;m experienced at holding my nose to vote for candidates in Austin. Voting for the best of flawed humans.
That said, even on some personal traits,  I&#039;d pick Trump over Biden any &#038; every chance.]]></description>

Regarding Bill Barr, he was remarkably ineffective when faced with BLA and Antifa insurrection in the summer and fall of 2020.  Now he realizes that the Brandon junta and leftists are a real serious threat.  Congratulations Bill, where were you in the clutch?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Cicero at 8:52 pm - Right on. I am continually amazed at how unabashedly political the progressives are. Their behavior is not befitting a Supreme Court justice. They cheapen the institution with their juvenile nonsense. So Sotomayor cries in her chambers when decisions don&#039;t go her way?  It&#039;s almost enough to make me buy one of those &quot;bitter leftist tears&quot; coffee mugs. 

Marlene - Bill Barr is not trying to redeem himself. He&#039;s been the same guy from the beginning. He respects the rule of law. He is a conservative. I watched the whole 17 minute interview. He really didn&#039;t say anything complimentary about Trump. He&#039;s just reached the conclusion that another four years of Biden/Harris would be so damaging that it is worth dealing with Trump and the potential damage that he would do. His reasoning is that one or other other is going to be president and the voter has to choose which one will do the least damage. That&#039;s not much different from my thinking. Things like Title IX, Israel, and lawfare have caused me to change my thinking on that balance over the past few months, but the analysis is the same. It never ceases to amaze me how Trumpers (and Trump himself) think they can achieve addition by subtraction.  Take the vote. Take the votes of double haters who, for whatever reason, decide to vote for Trump. For a lot of potential Trump voters, this election is still a close call, if not between Biden and Trump, then definitely between Trump and staying home or voting third party. Welcome those folks, don&#039;t insult them. 

On the merits of the case - the decision seems reasonable, but I believe we were all better off when the prospect of presidential criminal immunity was still hypothetical rather than concrete. The fault here lies with Biden, Garland, Smith, the district judge, and the D.C. Circuit. By bringing weak, silly charges against Trump and rushing them through the system to try to get a trial before the election, they&#039;ve forced the Court to make a decision on a bad set of facts and an underdeveloped record. We&#039;re all worse off for that. And now the three prog&#039;s &quot;politician in robes&quot; act further weakens the institutions that are actually the bulwark of the republic, if not of &quot;our democracy&quot; itself.]]></description>
