It doesn't allow it, because it already happens. People are acting like this is enabling some new behavior, and that the sky is falling, but this behavior has already been established.

I didn't realize the government could legally designate a citizen as X and then kill them without a declaration of war or a trial. Last time I checked, treason was a crime that you went to trial for.

Only if you believe that words have no meaning. If you're already at that place in your mind, anything is possible regardless.

>a dangerous line

That's the same lukewarm sentiment that he's always received. It was an impeachable, criminal act.

My point is that he got away with it anyways, even without this "official act" clarification. Which just goes to show you that people whipping themselves into a frenzy about this have not been paying attention. They're using the most extreme language ("Seal Team 6 assassinations!!!") to describe some hypothetical that has already occurred without this ruling. It's silly.

So you're only worried about rich and influential people being killed, not the rest of us lowly American plebs?

More like: if my guy does it that is official

Evidence: Obama supporters treating the assassination of that American citizen as an official action.

>Qualified immunity

Qualified immunity is unconstitutional

The definition of words. It is unconstitutional to infringe on constitutional rights. Official actions are made such by the granted authority. No unconstitutional action is supported by the granted authority of the constitution.

Every sentence except for the first is about word games not mattering. The first sentence is what I am also addressing, so I don't see how it is making a new point. Help me out?

Depriving someone of their constitutional rights cannot be an official act by definition. Arguing that it can be is just word games in a world where words stop mattering.

Being killed by the government without due process of law (ie: death penalty for convicted criminals) is a clear violation of your constitutional rights though, and violating someone's constitutional rights (read: going against the constitution) can't be an official act by definition.

Then it sounds like Sotomayor is being extreme by conflating domestic political assassinations as an "official act." Does she not understand the difference?

So you want to be an insurrectionist? That's what replacing an elected government makes you.

>The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune.

I would consider this an extreme knee jerk take, but it's Sotomayor saying it.

>the last thing you'd want is a servant for your coding problems.

That doesn't match my experience. Software engineering culture is full of processes to facilitate conformity, from velocity and burn down charts, to bureaucratic decision making processes and unnecessary group meetings. Every manager I've ever had has given me the impression that they want someone to mindlessly crunch through tickets without resistance.

>Do you really want to to be lied to by every candidate?

You misjudge managers. In my experience, managers want conformity in service of the company. The lie signals the willingness to conform in service of the company.

How do we know they didn't land on ocean debris?

It doesn't seem to matter, there's another post alleging Bridgen said vaccine = holocaust 2.0. They've been radicalized to attack when they hear trigger words.

Like I said, he's a hero

"Will no one rid me of these meddlesome right-wing startups?"

Wow, they even manage to tie in MP Andrew Bridgen, who has been heroically standing up for the unacknowledged vaccine-injured, as being part of "the far right" network. Kind of seems like this is a list of "everyone who doesn't agree with me is far right."

See no evidence, hear no evidence

Why are US citizens biometric identities being sent to Israel? Aren't there laws about sensitive information like this leaving US data centers?

>App store monopoly is one that makes more sense to me

Am I misreading this, or are you advocating for a monopoly? In what world is a monopoly better for consumers?

Even if you don't want an app, you have to pay $99 for the privilege of a "Login with Apple" button on your website.
