Payback's a Bitch

Don't take my word for it: here's an analysis
Did the U.S. Supreme Court really just give presidents the right to murder their political opponents?

Liberal justices argue it did.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Just missed by a quarter of an inch.
"Strictly read, on its face, is this what [the opinion] would permit? The answer is yes," said Harold Hongju Koh, a Yale Law School professor who teaches national-security law and was legal adviser to the State Department during the Obama years.

"The way this opinion is worded, it's broad enough to cover the most outrageous set of facts. So Justice Sotomayor was not being hyperbolic."
Didn't take long, now did it?
