How is a crime he committed before he was elected an official act of the presidency?
Because the prosecution used some tweets from when he was in office to highlight intent, or something like that. The supreme court ruling makes them arguably "official presidential activity" and thus can't be used as evidence. So, any verdict stemming from the use of such evidence is invalid.
I'm in favor of Biden testing the scope of this newly invented supreme court ruling with a few targeted drone strikes, perhaps, but maybe I'm just a bit pissed.
I'd be cool with arrests. I'd love to see Biden test it out by arresting anyone involved with the coup plotting and anyone involved in organizing/instigating a coup.
