A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It still has to be an official act. I don't know how that works.

No one does. Roberts conveniently left out how he would determine what acts are "official" from his opinion.

Republican acts are official. Democrat acts are not official.

Article II Section 3 says the president shall take care to execute the laws faithfully. I do not see how a president could issue an official illegal order.

It doesn't matter. He cannot be found criminally liable now. The law does not apply to him. Fuck SCOTUS
