I can't reply to your last comment since it's nested so deep: "Help me understand how you read "courts may not inquire into the President’s motives", then. That's a ruling, by the Supreme Court, that they can not do so in this specific case."

There's scopes to the application of the ruling. An extrajudicial killing of a political opponent certainly falls outside of scope.
