Guess what Trump says was an Official Act? (SCOTUS language)

 So, the revolutionary MAGA Supreme Court set up the get out of jail free card for the man who planned and tried to execute the overthrow of the 2020 presidential election. He actually had fake electors created to go to D.C. to change the actual votes of certain states. A terrible violation of the United States Constitution. 
But…
 
All Trump needs to do is declare that overt attempt at stealing the election was An Official Presidential Act (thanx for the get out of jail language SCOTUS!)

 Donald Trump lawyer has said that an alleged fake elector scheme was an "official act" and so should be immune from prosecution in Trump's federal election interference case.

This is deeply disgusting. SCOTUS is not just a partisan political operation, it is an authoritarian revolutionary power. 

The Supreme Court’s authority had been carefully built up over nearly 250 years as trustable arbiters of law. This revolutionary Supreme Court has destroyed that authority by overturning the Voting Rights, resulting in reducing black enfranchisement - by overturning Roe v Wade, stripping women of fundamental reproductive health choices - by now delaying Trump trials and actually granting him immunity from prosecution of his crimes. Plus other revolutionary rulings designed to change America to conform to the impassioned dreams of six people, backed by thousands of dedicated theocrats, oligarchs, and white supremacists. Ugly ugly ugly.
