Trump v. US is one of the most authoritarian decisions I’ve ever read. This is Roberts explaining why the president can’t be prosecuted for various crimes in office. Criminal accountability would take away his power and we can’t have that.

You can't be above the law when you are the law. QED.

Roberts really speaks out of both sides of his mouth. There is nothing in the Constitution or the Federalist papers to justify his ruling. He’s just making stuff up now.

"The framers absolutely intended that the president should have absolute immunity but never specified it" is....something.

We’ve been arguing over “the unitary executive” like suckers, and Roberts is just “the President is a branch of government”. So much for the mountain of law pretending it was anything more than that.

On the plus side, "Trump v. U.S." is aptly named.
