This person is correct, they are attempting to stage a revolution. Specifically one of the type that the sociologist Barrington Moore called “revolution from above.”
You know the rest of the title of that text.

Jackson's dissent also useful on the purpose of immunity. It is to distinguish the personal liability of officeholders from the institutional liability of government. It is not to create a special class of people who have a licence to commit crimes.

Okay, so US Supreme Court made exactly the evasive opinion that was predicted with exactly the vote that was predicted. Their main intervention was to delay issuing the predicted decision until the date that was predicted, which is today.

I really like the deal where you buy something online and then pick it up when you feel like it from the store on the corner. Eliminates a lot of problems.
