It's not really an idea though, is it? It's a piece of purported news and considering the source is relevant. The 'idea' is irrelevant if it didn't happen. In this case, it seems like it would be pretty irrelevant if it did happen, it's not like Trump didn't promise to install a justice who would overturn Roe v. Wade if given the opportunity. That he found one with a dash of 'the president can do whatever he wants without being prosecuted while in office' was just a bonus.
I don't think I'm following you on it's not an idea. While I think that it's wise to consider how it could be abused, and prevent any abuse, it would seem that this would apply to future Presidents as well. Frankly without seeing more information and context, I doubt that it would be 'the president can do whatever he wants without being prosecuted while in office' and wouldn't support that.
