This was argued by Trump's defense team, it’s not a hypothetical https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/pressed-assassination-question-team-trump-

  Rather, the prosecution asked it as a hypothetical and the defense refused to rule out that it might be an official act.

    That's explicitly arguing for the possibility then? Seems like splitting hairs and not a big leap to understand why the dissent might reference a take so wild as - yeah it's okay to murder your political rivals if it's official!

      So, for the next election, if Biden decides to pressure several state officials for them to choose him as the state winner instead of the real election result prevailing, there would be no prosecution. So why wouldn't he do it? Oh yes, basic honesty and being faithful to his country (unless that being old and confused, he decides to do just that, so two reasons there for him not to be held responsible). During the Supreme Court hearings, has anyone asked the hypothetical of a president deciding to send Team 6 to get rid of some members of the Supreme Court? No prosecution for that too?
