This gets an added wrinkle from the decision a few days ago. That one basically requires obstruction via documents or other tangible items. I'm going to assume that problem is overcome because of the fake elector documents even if influencing Pence has to get dropped. So is conspiring to do an illegal activity a core constitutional duty? No. Is it within the circle of expected duties? No. That leaves it as a personal act and not immune.

I was thinking the fake elector slates as docs would work for obstruction too. But I don't understand why docs are deemed necessary for obstruction. I'll have to find a good comment on that.
