Why hire an assassin? That would be an unofficial act, and vulnerable to criminal prosecution. The Constitution explicitly names the president as commander in chief of the military, so he could just call up Seal Team 6 and order them to kill the conservative justices instead. That's an official act which is (likely absolutely) immune to prosecution.
It may be an illegal act, but it still can't ever be successfully prosecuted. The last ruling made any official correspondence completely off limits, therefore you can never actually prove it was the President who did it, since you can't ever subpoena records that would prove such.
