That's the same lukewarm sentiment that he's always received. It was an impeachable, criminal act.
My point is that he got away with it anyways, even without this "official act" clarification. Which just goes to show you that people whipping themselves into a frenzy about this have not been paying attention. They're using the most extreme language ("Seal Team 6 assassinations!!!") to describe some hypothetical that has already occurred without this ruling. It's silly.
Evidence: Obama supporters treating the assassination of that American citizen as an official action.
Qualified immunity is unconstitutional
I would consider this an extreme knee jerk take, but it's Sotomayor saying it.
That doesn't match my experience. Software engineering culture is full of processes to facilitate conformity, from velocity and burn down charts, to bureaucratic decision making processes and unnecessary group meetings. Every manager I've ever had has given me the impression that they want someone to mindlessly crunch through tickets without resistance.
You misjudge managers. In my experience, managers want conformity in service of the company. The lie signals the willingness to conform in service of the company.
Am I misreading this, or are you advocating for a monopoly? In what world is a monopoly better for consumers?
