As to Trump: - Absolutely immune from prosecution for DOJ discussions. - Presumption of immunity for efforts to pressure Pence, but could be rebutted on remand. - Discussions w state actors and Jan. 6 comments must be determined if they are official or not on remand.

I mean, if you're asking a Secretary of State to "find" you more votes, that's you acting as a candidate, not an official act as the President. Come on. Hatch Act, anyone?

Did they address whether POTUS can have seal team six take out a political rival? I ask because having carte blanche to use DOJ however they want and pressuring VP to subvert the constitution seems just one step short of that.

It feels like breaking the law should immediately disqualify it as an "official act." Maybe we could have a group of their peers decide whether or not they broke the law after lawyers for the defendant and the government present all the relevant information?

Should we assume that Trump could appeal those during the case or after judgement, because it feel like a "you have to wait till after judgement to appeal this"

Can Judge Chutkan schedule hearings ASAP on this rebuttable presumption, call Pence and others under oath?

Sotomayor is reading from her dissent. You cannot hear it because, despite having the capacity to do so, the Supreme Court does not livestream opinion announcements.
