"The decision makes talking to the VP a magic shield, as POTUS is presumed to have immunity for any discussion relating to official responsibilities. So, Trump pressuring Pence to not certify the election becomes official conduct because certifying the election falls within the VP's duties."

They knew they were all gonna go down in Georgia-so they crafted a decision that hamstrings the overthrowing the election charge at state levels. Most of the plotting happened at several meetings in Nov/Dec.So the “plans” with Eastman, Cippolini, Barr, Meadows, Guliani, Powell etc cant be evidence

I think it's very dangerous to call these "decisions" or "rulings" instead of crimes, abuses, etc., and to grant them any legitimacy whatsoever. Neither SCOTUS nor anyone else has the right to create a king or a state of exception or shield of immunity for serious crimes. We can't concede that.

This is bullshit law. When a crime involves an official, like a lawyer, all protection of client privilege goes out the window. (A) crime. Exempts all executive privilege* this scrotum is rewriting common law.

So what is the recourse? Can Congress make a law to overrule this decision?

Republican utopia has arrived. Roberts was an anarchistic bomb thrower all along too btw.
