I mean, read the decision. Any evidence that proves whether a contested event or action was "official" or not is inadmissible in court. The Courts cannot investigate the President's motives when deciding whether an action was official or unofficial, and prosecutors cannot use evidence of immune official presidential acts to establish criminal liability, even when prosecuting separate, unofficial conduct.

We simply HAVE to take the Executive's word for whether an action was official or not.

Only when one party does it. See how quickly this will be ruled/interpreted the other way if a Dem admin does it next time.

I admire the optimism; but unfortunately it benefits ANY party in power, so there's little incentive to ignore or overrule. The gauntlet is thrown.
