@realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @volkris @Hyolobrika In the decision there is actually an argument among the conservatives, between Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts, on just this point. Coney Barrett dissents in part, specifically on the excluding motives part. She uses the example of bribery, quid pro quo. She asks, suppose a President is bribed to pardon. Pardons are within the "conclusive and preclusive" powers of the President. 2/
