Sotomayor says this decision gives the US president a "loaded weapon" to use for his own interests. "Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune."

Does it actually mean that taking bribes for pardons is immune?? I can't quite figure that out. Because obviously that's... that's the thing we KNOW is wrong, in this space

I'm afraid even a dissent like this written in plain language is not enough. I think it's time for KBJ, Sotomayor, and Kagan to draw straws for which of them is going to hold a press conference or even go on the news shows and just say plainly to the American people what is happening.

If only Biden would choose to take the immunity ruling and run with it! We love that he’s ethical, but would also forgive him for any transgressions in the continued effort to preserve democracy.

"It seems history matters to this court only when it is convenient." Chisel these words from the dissent into the facade of the court building.
