    yeah, the decision says exercises of constitutional authority have immunity. they're /presumed/ to be official acts. so if assassinations are covered by the president, he's free to kill off his political enemies.

This line seems relevant: "[...] President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclu- sive constitutional authority"
