Holy shit, the Supreme Court actually wrote that Trump telling Pence to claim the wildly unconstitutional power to single-handedly reject certified Electoral College votes, thereby overthrowing Constitutional democracy, can't be illegal because POTUS and VP talking about it makes it an official act.

Yeah I wondered about that. Doesn't that create a paradox with the "president may not undertake activities that subvert or overthrow the government" thing? (I'm not a lawyer and not in the US so very likely to not see or get some details here.)

It is incomprehenably stupid and a deliberate misinterpretation of law. The #SCOTUS6 are effectively running coup from inside of the judiciary branch, and there is very little that we can do to stop them, since Biden refuses to expand the court.
They are Trump loyalists to their blackened hearts.

No wonder they left this to the very last moment they were in town and then did the quick skedaddle. Shame doesn't begin to cover it. The Opus Dei wing of the court deserves every bit of excoriation that's aimed in their direction.

Please help me understand this, @joshuajfriedman.com: how can the interaction about how to block the democratic proceedings of the result of elections between Pence and Trump be interpreted as "discussing their official responsibilities"?

So what I’m reading is that just before Biden meets Trump next time, he turns to Harris and says “I’m going to kill that motherfucker” she nods and says “You certainly should kill that motherfucker!” and it’s official business?

It sure looks like, according to SCOTUS, a president telling an executive branch official "I order you to break the law" cannot be criminal, since giving orders to people in the executive branch is an official act, and the fact that a president used this official act to order a crime doesn't matter.
