So what is and isn't an official act?
@sheseala
That's the key question!!!!
I don't know.
I strongly suspect how some people would interpret it, though.

@janallmac @sheseala per Roberts, "The court indicates that the president's immunity for official acts "extends to the outer perimeter of the President's official responsibilities, covering actions so long as they are not manifestly or palpably beyond his authority." - and - An action is not unofficial, the court adds, just because "it allegedly violates a generally applicable law."
@b4cks4w @sheseala
Oh. Nice.
So... a president's "official acts" could include all sorts of things as long as they're kind of sort of within their authority? Even if it's allegedly in violation of a law?
Yeah, that sounds super fantastic.
