goofy: It's not because it's "an official act" but because the decision grants total immunity for any actions a president takes using the “core powers” that the Constitution bestows on the office. One such power is the authority to command the military.
Albaby would say that even the core power of commanding the military doesn't permit him to do something illegal via the military. So, even if some members of the military were willing to carry it out, that would not shield the president from prosecution for a nevertheless still illegal act. This would be no consolation to the person that was murdered, but would still be a deterrent to a rational president.
But I still want to hear more from the three dissenting liberal judges.
