We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

@Gradually_Adjusting @wintermute_oregon I think it depends on how this ruling gets applied/interpreted.
There is a real risk, pointed out by #Sotomayor, that federal procedures could legitimize illegal acts like assassinations. However, one could just as easily presume that such actions would be unconstitutional and therefore fall outside the bounds of ordinary business, and thus do not meet the criteria for "official acts".
I wish this ruling had a bit more precision.
Hard not to assume we'll see the implementation will end up working out in the favour of this court's political allies. In fact, if it was precise enough that both sides could apply it the same way, I'm sure they'd find that a flaw.
@Gradually_Adjusting Your biases might be coming into play here. There's not much to indicate that this is the case.
#Trump hasn't signaled that he wishes to do many actions as #POTUS in the future that would bump up against this, and for all of #Trump's complaints, #JoeBiden hasn't done much that would brush up against this either. I'd expect the 2028 administration to be the one that tests this ruling, and who knows if it would be a #GOP or #Democrat admin (though likely the latter)
Wow, people dislike your opinion almost as much as the mods here.
@TruffleStuff True. Can't say that I care though lol
