Hold off the death squads: Highly misleading coverage of SCOTUS immunity decision

On MSNBC, Rachel Maddow warned that the Supreme Court had just unleashed death squads to roam our streets. CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen announced that murder was now legal (at least for presidents), while others predicted that the ruling on presidential immunity would invite tyranny.  

Anyone reading the coverage would conclude that James Madison has been replaced by John Wick in a new Baba Yaga Republic.

President Biden fueled the sense of panic in an address that repeated widespread false claims about the decision in Trump v. United States. Biden told the country that for all practical purposes, today s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a president can do.

That, of course, is not true.
