    @Gradually_Adjusting @wintermute_oregon I think it depends on how this ruling gets applied/interpreted.

    There is a real risk, pointed out by #Sotomayor, that federal procedures could legitimize illegal acts like assassinations. However, one could just as easily presume that such actions would be unconstitutional and therefore fall outside the bounds of ordinary business, and thus do not meet the criteria for "official acts".

    I wish this ruling had a bit more precision.

      Hard not to assume we’ll see the implementation will end up working out in the favour of this court’s political allies. In fact, if it was precise enough that both sides could apply it the same way, I’m sure they’d find that a flaw.

      The president needs some immunity to do their job.

      I think you’ll see more precision in future cases. This was more of a blanket ruling since they were trying to ignore immunity given to presidents.

      As they sort through the charges, I suspect they’ll come back to scotus.

      I am not against some immunity but I am against complete immunity.

  Congratulations, Presidents can now order the execution of their political rivals and replace Supreme Court judges in the name of official Presidential duties.

  Once again, we have a King.

    Well if he wanted to be. Democrats are too fucking spineless to abuse their power even when given permission. That’s exactly why the court ruled the way it did. They know biden won’t abuse his power.
