I think what's most surprising to me about the immunity decision is that I assumed the conservative justices saw trump as a liability, in the sense that they clearly have a free hand to implement an evil agenda without him. But apparently they actually really like him & welcome chaos

They are begging Biden to take care of their liability. He just needs to take the hint.

I think it’s not unlike how evangelicals claim to describe Trump, that he’s flawed personally but was sent by god to enact their agenda. I mean they say stuff like that.

This makes me even more curious as to who will be Trumps VP pick. After all, if the 78+ year old President is indisposed, the VP will get the big chair and the Official Immunity.

Like evangelicals, they are overly confident of their own goodness saving them

1. They might have seen him as a liability when he didn't seem electable. He seems electable now. 2. Alito and Thomas want to retire and be replaced by 45-year-old clones of themselves. Trump will get that done. 3. It's not chaos for them.

I think if it was two years ago, they would’ve thrown him to the dogs (not Thomas), but now he’s the Republican nominee so they can’t let him go to jail.

I don't think it's directly in service of Trump, more that he's the test pilot for whomever comes next.

The SCOTUS majority is a lot closer to Marge Taylor green and Matt gaetz than the 3 Dems on the court. All of conservativism is fully on board the trump train

The key is in Alito's comments about the spiritual war to make this country "godly" again before it's too late. They require a dictator.

There was a moment during the first impeachment when I naively thought, they have a golden opportunity to shut down the circus and have sober, reliable Pence passing all the draconian shit they love without any drama. But Trump isn't some outlier they all secretly hate. He's exactly what they want.

They’re not that smart. Scalia was not a genius and they’re all dumber than him.

I would say it's less about liking him and more about how useful he is to them. They're the subject of attention and with him in frame, they fade away.

He has been very useful in that he's accelerated what they thought would have to be done very gradually.

Like I just had a fundamental misunderstanding here, I thought only alito and thomas were the really stupid-evil ones, but I was wrong, they're all nuts

The left is outraged that the decision sets the nation up for a dictatorship, but the right is excited by this possibility. They genuinely want to be ruled.

I was honestly surprised the Roberts wing went this far. They notably *didn't* side with him in the 2020 election cases.
