@rbreich Kinda. it's more "only if I agree". They decide what's lawful now. on a case-by-case scenario.
the court gave itself the power to determine which actions can be prosecuted and which cannot by making itself the final arbiter of what is “official” and what is not. It's not "president is above the law" but "president reports to supreme court" It's a coup, peeps. It's a coup. https://kottke.org/24/07/supreme-court-zero-days-since-last-incident
