It has been noted that a young activist interpreted Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s warning that the Supreme Court just authorized presidents to conduct political assassinations on social media — and received an equally chilling reply from former President Donald Trump’s spokesperson.
“According to the Supreme Court, Biden could now send in Seal Team 6 to take all of them out,” wrote Harry Sisson. “He could send in the military to take out Trump.”
Replied campaign advisor Chris LaCivita, “Expect a Visit….”
It is noted that the disturbing exchange was made possible by the recent Supreme Court ruling that Trump enjoyed presidential immunity when he urged Justice Department officials to help him overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The 6-3 vote was strongly disagreed by justices Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson who warned the majority had dismantled a key component of American democracy.
“Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune,” wrote Sotomayor.
“It makes a mockery of the principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of Government, that no man is above the law.”
LaCivita’s response to Sisson’s interpretation of this message can be read in multiple ways.
Trump’s senior adviser could very well be suggesting President Joe Biden will act on the powers Sotomayor warned he now enjoys — Trump also tried to claim a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago contained orders that the former president be assassinated.
