    You could argue that his oath of office requires it. But yes the Supreme Court only meant this power to be used by people they approve of

      That’s why you have to start with the Supreme Court. Got to grease the skids so to speak

      But now that the “official act, fuck you” defense is valid, he can get the Tribunal of Six to come to the White House for an urgent meeting, lock the door, pull out a .44 magnum, and shoot them all in the face as an official act, and per their own decision, it would be legal. Moreover, he’d be defending the United States and the Constitution from clear and present domestic enemies who are openly trying to undermine both of those things. So it’s not just him saying that, but an actual, real action that he would be personally taking in direct and clear support of his oath of office.

      Low-key crossing my fingers that that very meeting takes place on Jan 5th of next year.
