    Apparently you didn't read all of the decision either.

    "THE OPINION

    The court’s conservative majority said former presidents have absolute immunity from prosecution for official acts that fall within
    their “exclusive sphere of constitutional authority” and are presumptively entitled to immunity for all official acts. They do not
    enjoy immunity for unofficial, or private, actions."


    If he does it with, you know, an executive order between 10am and 4pm,
    will it be, like, official?

    He could/would if it showed up on his teleprompter......and he'd have
    plausible deniability in case it was illegal. I mean, hey. You can't
    blame the juke box for the song choice, can you?
    What? You say that's an inefficacious analogy?
    Well...........maybe. And at the end of the day going forward, it'll,
    like, boil down to the context and a comprehensive analysis of the
    tools on the table at the time, you know?
