The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Well, if you guys have convictions behind what you assert here, then just have Biden order up Seal team 6 and assassinate Trump, or perhaps a showy drone strike on Mar-a-Lago, your call.

Problem solved, democracy saved, easy peasy. Go for it.

The problem with Sotomayor's and posters on this board fantasies is that...that's not happening.

Let's ask the Army's Delta Force:

washingtonexaminer.com - Delta force asks candidates if they would kill political opponent

Those who make it to the final stage of selection for the Army’s Delta Force special operations unit must pass a commander’s board interview. There, Delta’s commanding officer and other unit personnel barrage the candidate with various questions to test his intellect and character under pressure. I’ve been told by former Delta personnel and have read in at least one memoir that one frequent question is: “How would you respond to an order by the president of the United States to kill a political opponent?”

The obvious answer is That's an illegal order, sir.

Sotomayor was the most overturned circuit judge in the country when Obama put her on the Supreme Court for a reason. Not having a great understanding of the law was one.
