4 years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court in its unanimous McDonnell decision confirmed that not all actions taken by public officials are "official acts" for purposes of the federal bribery laws. Official action, the court held, is limited to a "decision or action" on a "question, matter, cause, suit, proceeding or controversy," and must "involve a formal exercise of governmental power that is similar in nature to a lawsuit before a court, a determination before an agency, or a hearing before a committee." To qualify, the alleged official action "must also be something specific and focused that is 'pending' or 'may by law be brought' before a public official." In vacating former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell's convictions, the court held that "[s]etting up a meeting, talking to another official, or organizing an event (or agreeing to do so) - without more - does not fit that definition of 'official act[ion].'

Nothing changed in that because there are 3 separate buckets. The problem is that they, for some reason, have claimed that as long as they are using political power granted by the Constitution, that it is immune. This is brand new. In fact, they didn't bother to test versus oath on actions. Things that are definitely illegal using the power are now non-prosecutable. Why did we put an oath in if we do not enforce it? We, also, realized that oaths needed to be given for lower members of the executive as well as the legislature. Apparently, adding them after the Civil War does absolutely nothing because the oaths mean nothing according to the Supreme Court. What's worse is that if we look at the limits on the rights of prosecution, we take things like this into account in moving the case from state to federal court. Just taking the opinion as evidence, this might also be what the Supreme Court Justices actually think about their own oaths of office. My question is, "Does a lower judge need to enforce an unlawful opinion since the Justices have made subordinates the test on whether an oath of office is being upheld?" I know if I am them, I'm going to claim the same immunity for their office. These would all be official acts for them as Justices.
