People keep failing to make this distinction lol
I know this goes back to your argument with her again but the supreme court just made it more realThe lower courts now get to decide which of his actions are not considered official. If they are not considered official, he may still be prosecuted. He's not just granted immunity from everything he's been accused of if found guilty.
Look I know I could be interpreting this wrong but I feel like one side is claiming a W they don't actually have for obvious reasons, and another side fear mongering for more "democracy is on the line"
Project 2025.This ruling plus the Chevron ruling basically made the Pres a real dictator. Now the FBI, DEA and other government office are no longer "federal" and now has no need for checks and balances. The pres can simply put one of his homies from the block as the lead of the fucking CIA if they wanted to
People keep failing to make this distinction lol
I was about to post this word for word LMAO
That seems to be a grey area as the lower courts decideSo where is the breakdown of what is official vs not?

Basically a president must act within their presidential duties as outlined in article 2 of the Constitution. To do otherwise would be unconstitutional and therefore would be outside the scope of immunity.ChatGPT gave me a meaningless word salad
Official vs. Unofficial Acts of a Sitting President
When it comes to the actions of a sitting president, the distinction between official and unofficial acts holds significant legal and constitutional implications.Official Acts:
Unofficial Acts:
- Official acts of a sitting president are those carried out within the scope of their constitutional powers as outlined in Article II of the Constitution. These acts are typically related to the execution of their duties as the head of the executive branch and are granted immunity from civil liability. The Supreme Court has affirmed absolute immunity for official acts, providing protection from civil suits for damages arising from these acts
.- The immunity from civil liability for official acts extends to actions within the "outer perimeter" of the president's duties, ensuring that the president can perform their duties effectively without fear of personal liability
.
In summary, the distinction between official and unofficial acts of a sitting president is crucial in determining the extent of immunity and legal accountability for their actions. While official acts are generally shielded from civil liability, unofficial acts are subject to judicial review and potential legal consequences.
- Unofficial acts refer to actions taken by the president that fall outside the scope of their official duties. These acts are not immune from civil liability, and the president can be subject to judicial review and potential legal consequences for such actions
.- It is important to note that the distinction between official and unofficial acts can be complex and may have legal implications in cases involving criminal prosecution or civil suits.
You can if you can make an assessment that your opponent is a threat to national security as part of your duties as commander in chief of the militaryBasically a president must act within their presidential duties as outlined in article 2 of the Constitution. To do otherwise would be unconstitutional and therefore would be outside the scope of immunity.
So no you can't assassinate your political opponent.
He would still have to convince the court that his actions were reasonable. He doesn't have unilateral power to get away with it bc he said so and no one does anything about it.You can if you can make an assessment that your opponent is a threat to national security as part of your duties as commander in chief of the military
Yeah but I doubt that would go anywhereHe would still have to convince the court that his actions were reasonable. He doesn't have unilateral power to get away with it bc he said so and no one does anything about it.
Presidents can still be impeached and held accountable with this ruling.
I mean that could've been true even without this ruling lolYeah but I doubt that would go anywhere
I’m thinking of the exact scenario we faced 4 years ago when one side had everyone convinced Trump was a Russian asset. If they had ordered a kill I doubt the courts would have done much at the end of the day.
