I thought years ago after the enemy combatants ruling, what's stopping the president from declaring his opponents enemy combatants and detaining them in gitmo indefinitely. Apparently the answer is nothing lol.

at some point i was watching cnn or meet the press or something and the guy insisting that trumps presidential immunity theory was hokum brought up obamas ordering osama bin ladens assassination for reasons not at all clear to me i think he was trying to give a platonic example for why presidential immunity is good

it didnt seem to occur to him at all that obama just arbitrarily killing whoever he pleased without even a pretense of oversight actually backs up trumps argument and the only especially absurd part about these assassination hypotheticals in trumps case is that theyre implicitly being used in relation to white people in the united states
