The other thing is that it’s so lawless a decision that it cannot be respected as precedent. It feels like a Supreme Court that succeeds this one should ignore its rule against advisory opinions to immediately overturn this one without waiting for a case to come up to do it.

If Biden uses his presidential purge powers to rearrange the Supreme Court, Jack smith can just move for reargument and the court can vacate the earlier decision

Everything about the case is galling, but I'm still especially furious that Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to rule quickly and preemptively on the immunity question as he handed down the indictment and they, instead, twiddled their thumbs for 10 months.

My great hope is that a reformed SCOTUS has a chance to do this on Trump’s appeal of his Jan. 6 case conviction (🤞). But Trump v. United States left little room for that trial to occur.

Assuming we all live to see such a court come around, I think that Trump v US would be overturned & Chevron would be reinstated in remarkably short order.
