    No, the actual judgement is that its presumed, and the other courts must figure out what counts as a constitutional act, an official act, and an unofficial act

      I keep seeing this BS getting spread so here’s an actual quote from one of the justices on the SC.

      Sotomayor warned that the ruling “will have disastrous consequences for the Presidency and for our democracy” and that it sends the message: “Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends.”

      She added, “Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.

      I have no idea why so many people from the reddit/lemmy demographic feel compelled to downplay and “well akshully” this shit. People should be in the streets burning shit right now. Or we could just wait and see, I guess

          Well the person you’re replying to provided a source to back up their claim. Your answer is just “I’m right.” Do you care to do as your opponent did, and provide a source for your spurrious claims?
