I bet if you killed everyone on the court and in the legislature and replaced them with your personal sycophants, they would probably agree it was an 'official act'

That's basically the entire republican plan. It's all spelled out in Project 2025. Literally replacing the entire government with Trump loyalists, and military tribunals for anyone who cannot be directly fired and replaced. Trump has even said that Mitch McConnell is going to be tried in front of a military tribunal.

As a note here, military tribunal means no due process, and no defense. Just straight to the guilty verdict and death penalty.
