Do you think this ruling opens a can-of-worms re: official vs. unofficial acts or does enough to define the difference? If it doesn't do so it seems Congress will have to define those parameters...

Congress is not likely to define the term further, and the courts will do so on a case-by-case basis. That's how it usually works. Congress prefers not to act, which necessitates that the courts do the job.

That is for the best. Keeping the judiciary independent is still the best way to accomplish the goal of your tagline. Thanks for your reply.
