Well ?
Not to advocate any illegal act by anyone. But:
Could a commander in chief order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival and not face criminal prosecution? That is the provocative hypothetical raised by two Supreme Court justices in their dissents on the high court's ruling regarding former President Donald Trump's immunity case.
The Supreme Court on Monday said former presidents are entitled to some protections for "official" acts, though said there is no immunity for "unofficial" acts -- rejecting Trump's sweeping claim of "absolute" immunity from criminal prosecution in his federal election subversion case.
The blockbuster decision split the court along ideological lines. The 6-3 opinion was delivered by Chief Justice John Roberts, with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting.

The obvious snag here:
Though U.S. military members are sworn to obey the U.S. president, would they obey that specific order? It's far from a done deal though perhaps it can't be ruled out.
It would seem to be, we may hope it is exceedingly unlikely. That's not the question. If this SCOTUS ruling would give such broad power to President Trump, does it not also accord the same broad powers to the Biden / Harris administration?
BONUS point to ponder:
If YOU were the battlefield commander also directly sworn to obey President Biden, what would you do if ordered to assassinate Trump?
Would you command your SEAL team to the task, knowing you as their commander might at some future date be charged?
