[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be fascinated to see how this court would rule under a radical progressive president who [b]attempts to assassinate his opponents and openly take bribes.[/b] I am also tired of justices pretending they're historians and have any good thumb on the history of this country-follow plain text if you want to be originalists but don't conjure up convenient analyses of history :roll: [/quote]

Neither of these actions is covered by this ruling.  Those are not "official" duties.  Those are crimes, regardless of who is doing them.

If a crime has no enforcement possibility then is it really a crime?[/quote]

Crime absolutely has enforcement possibility.  
Tell me exactly how assassinating Justices on SCOTUS is an official act.  [/quote]

Not sure about that one but the bribery for official acts seems unenforceable if the the official act part of the scheme is not admissable.[/quote]

Bribery is illegal and not an official act.  [/quote]

Yes.  But the enforcement.  If you can't present any evidence that the bribe was in exchange for an official act it is unenforceable.   And if it is unenforceable, than so what if you call it a crime.[/quote]
