What defines an official act? Campaign rally? Presidential records?

The court in Part III of its opinion indicates that in this case “no court has thus far considered how” to distinguish between official and unofficial acts.

Moreover, Roberts continues, “the lower courts rendered their decisions on a highly expedited basis” and “did not analyze the conduct alleged in the indictment to decide which of it should be categorized as official and which unofficial” — and it wasn’t briefed before the Supreme Court.

So, it appears the Stormy Daniels-type B.S. isn’t covered under this decision.

Why should an immunity for official acts in office be extended to the official’s family?

The argument that will be made is that the things for which he is being prosecuted were no official acts, but were acts taken in his personal capacity (the hush money case) or as a candidate, not as president (J6, documents, RICO case). Not saying that will prevail, just saying this isn’t over on any of the cases.

Back to lower courts to decide.

So the Supreme Court isn’t going to make that determination now. Instead, it will send the case back to the lower courts for further proceedings, although it does offer some guidance.
