This decision is awful. But its awfulness is mostly because of principle & symbolism & what the kids call "vibes" rather than direct practical effects. It's what it will encourage Trump to do, rather than what, strictly speaking, it allows him to do, that worries me.

The actual direct effect is to fuck up the Trump prosecutions. That's bad, but unless it's the factor that causes him to win the election, the damage to the country is limited. I don't think POTUSes have restrained themselves for fear of prosecution, so it's hard to say immunity will change much.

This👆 But it is an awful decision that I predict will sit next to decisions like Koramatsu and Plessy. A nadir for the Court, and a stain on this nation. Beyond that, and looking and the entire course the Court took to reach this point, it's also a decision that betrays profound moral cowardice.
