Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They conveniently forgot to define what constitutes an "official act", meaning they can re-interpret the meaning of that on the fly in order to reward their friends and punish opponents.

They said congress had to decide that.

That's not going to make this any easier or more difficult. Conservative officials all walk in lockstep.

Scotus is completely anathema to giving power away to other branches. No, if there is a question on what constitutes an official act it gets remanded to the lower courts.
