If inciting an insurrection towards their own government is an action without legal repercussions, I don’t see how the law would be less lenient about straight up firing a gun at an opponent.

I by no means want any party to resolve to violent tactics. So even though I play with the thought, I really don’t want anything like it to happen. I am just curious if it’s actually the case that a sitting president has now effectively a licence to kill.

What am I missing?

    So Biden could shoot Trump dead but the court would rule that that was illegal because some bullshit reason.

    Ah! But with what evidence? They also ruled that presidential conduct (paraphrasing here) can’t be used as evidence.
