    His lawyer argued presidents can assassinate their political opponents at the Supreme Court today, and as if that’s not bad enough, they seem receptive to it.

    These are dark fucking times.

      Buddo, if you think crackhead lawyers arguing “The president ordering political assassinations is OK” is gonna fly and be the law of the land, I have a bridge to sell you!

      Or, if youre right, Dark Brandon is about to be reeeeeeaaaaal busy.

      A lawyer has a duty to attempt the most favorable outcome for their client, even if the methodology is insane. So long as it can be squeezed into some sort of logical interpretation of the law, or to argue the law is improper. It doesn’t mean they actually believe their own bullshit necessarily.
