Would Biden have presidential immunity if he instructed Seal Team Six to take out 5 or 6 SCOTUS justices?

I'd like to hear what Alito would have to say about it.

1. Excellent question!

[Polybius]

2. Well, he's lose the election if he ordered it

Not that Biden would ever do that.

4. Of course

And he’d never find anyone to do the killing. It’s still a good question.

3. Biden and Trump are not the only presidents, They won't be the last.

Maybe Biden wouldn't, probably he would not but maybe the next one will? Dem or Rep. Just because one is in the party doesn't mean they are as moral as we think we Dems are.

5. I say he goes ahead with it now and let the

remaining few decide.

6. He would be impeached and tried.

Ex-presidents can be impeached, that's the mechanism provided by the Constitution.

7. I'd think that the removal of 4 justices would be sufficient -

Or, really, just the three appointed by Trump, given that he won by cheating in 2016.

8. Trump's attorneys say that unless first impeached and convicted, he couldn't be prosecuted.

If I were the POTUS, I might suddenly be very concerned about the physical safety of people like certain congress folks or federal judges (or other people who concerned the POTUS). I might assign federal agents to watch over the safety of such VIPs (and members of their families). I might assign teams to each and every one. Just for security. And thank goodness as POTUS I might be totally innocent of any offenses assigned agents or teams were forced to commit in the furtherance of those agents' or teams' good faith missions.

What might possibly go wrong? Justices of the Supreme Court, please allow me to introduce you to your new personal monitoring teams. Remember, the President can't be prosecuted unless they're impeached AND convicted, and a lot might happen while those processes are under way, not all of it involving cash or yacht rides.

9. I like the question.
