Please explain to me (re: illegal military orders) [View all]

SCOTUS said anything POTUS does while performing his job is legal.

Including ordering Seal Team Six to murder a political foe.

How is it legal for POTUS, but illegal for either the officers or troops carrying out those orders?

No doubt this is why POTUS said that any order from him is legal.

SCOTUS very clearly created this mess with that ruling. How do we get out of it now?
