Impunity

So, considering the latest conservative wing of SCOTUS‘ attempt at, you know, actually thinking, I derive this suddenly probable scenario:

1. Your next autocratic President takes offense at some ruling of SCOTUS. Or, if you prefer, President Biden takes offense.
2. He marches over to see SCOTUS, currently in session.
3. He uses his handy-dandy Glock to shoot Chief Justice Roberts right between the eyes.
4. He proclaims it an official act – Correcting the judgment of the Chief Justice, as I recall the news networks later reporting. He is thus immunized from the consequences of his actions.
5. He returns to work in the Oval Office. Some reports had him grinning with glee.

A few years ago, Chief Justice Roberts proclaimed the Federal judiciary as politics free. It would appear that SCOTUS has now submitted to the conservative game plan. The Chief Justice’s place in history will not be hallowed, I fear. Rather, it’ll be covered in bullet holes.
