Would the court also need to carefully consider and rule on whether arresting or murdering a disagreeing judge is an "official act" by the President?

- legitster 2y agoProbably not. Arresting disagreeing judges would be a violation of due process, as is murdering US citizens without a trial. At least that was the tentative conclusion last time this was brought up: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/feb/22/obama-brennan-paul-assassinations-filibuster https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/feb/22/obama-...
