How To Be More Dangerous Than A POTUS With Absolute Immunity

I am disappointed that Justice Alito is not standing up for the grand principles of the classic and received common law in this case: 
“It was all Mrs. Bumble. She would do it," urged Mr. Bumble; first looking round, to ascertain that his partner had left the room. 
"That is no excuse," returned Mr. Brownlow. "You were present on the occasion of the destruction of these trinkets, and, indeed, are the more guilty of the two, in the eye of the law; for the law supposes that your wife acts under your direction." 
You of course know the rest.
The rest is worth noting:
If the law supposes that," said Mr. Bumble, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, "the law is a ass — a idiot. If that's the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is, that his eye may be opened by experience — by experience.
Experience, huh? But that doesn’t apply to Alito. He’s a Supreme Court Justice. No law applies to him unless he says so. Besides, he didn’t do it; his wife did.  No, I’m not kidding. Or exaggerating.
The law is not the ass here.
