A Republican president could. I have a feeling that what the supreme court will count as an official act is extremely president-dependent.

The president would be immune, but not definitely anyone else, right? Could his deputies who help carry out such an order be triable for conspiracy?

Wouldn't it still be illegal for the troops to carry out that order? The ruling doesn't make the order legal; it makes the President immune from prosecution for giving the order. Granted, depending on troops to refuse to carry out an illegal order isn't much comfort, but it's not nothing.

"the [Republican] president" right? Much smaller chance a Democratic president gets that deference from this court, I'm guessing.

This court thinks impeachment and removal is moot and truly, democrats should threat the court accordingly.

We should collect the practical effects of these awful, democracy-ending cases into a single document. Maybe call them the Nuremberg Laws.

Any general who refused the order could then be charged with treason/insubordination and/or summarily executed and that would also be fine by the Supreme Court, because he's acting in his official capacity as C&C.

Clearly if we want to punish a president for ordering protestors be shot, the only answer is through the ballot box, which will certainly be respected and honored.

The shot/chaser is that since the limits have not been defined, any action taken by the sitting Prez is assumed to be legal until judicial review has been completed. It's a blank slate of criming.
