The Ford pardon of Nixon would have been totally unnecessary. A million other actions and arguments in American history assume presidents aren't immune. It's a totally new idea, nowhere in text or American tradition. Arguably the least originalist major SCOTUS decision in American history.

It is a two-box day at SCOTUS, so we are expecting up to four decisions. There are four cases remaining, including Trump immunity and the APA accrual rule case. The NetChoice cases out of Florida and Texas could come as one or two decisions. Here we go.
