          Exactly. This makes the entire thing a joke.

          The court will decide acts are official when convenient (read: supports their guy).

          The Federalist Society needs to be outlawed as a terrorist organization.

      An assassination isn’t “an official act”, plain and simple. The Supreme Court ruled on one specific case. They allowed it then. A different case could be ruled illegal. Which it would 100% be done, be it a republican court, a democratic court, or some magical unbiased one from fairy land.

        That isn’t how the Supreme Court works. An insurrection isn’t an ‘official act’ either btw but here we are. I recommend you look into court precedent.
