There is so much focus on motive, but the thing is, the law so often doesn’t really care about motive, and that’s part of the point.

We have law that gives presidents authorization to act regardless of why they are acting. Maybe we should change those laws. Maybe we should change the law to consider motive, although I would say that is a really thorny direction to go, but that’s what we have right now.

The Supreme Court is pointing out that our democratic process produced law that doesn’t care about motive. The Supreme Court is merely respecting that outcome.

Again, we can reform that if we want. We can change the law if we want. It would be a democratic process that in some cases involves constitutional amendment, but we have that power.

In the end, until we make that change, though, this is the law. The Supreme Court is merely working with what we have today, not how you or I might want the law to be.
