"The real concern, Chief Justice Roberts said, was not that immunity would embolden presidents to commit crimes with impunity, but rather that without it, the country’s rival leaders would endlessly be at each others’ throats." This ruling achieves the exact opposite of Roberts's stated goal.

There's nothing in this ruling that makes it harder for a sitting POTUS to corruptly prosecute an ex-POTUS. The only charges that are made more difficult are charges relating to the ex-president's acts as president? So what? The ex-POTUS can still be charged for invented post-presidency crimes.
