Uh, Roberts appears to say that you can't even use *evidence* related to a president's official acts when you're prosecuting him for unofficial acts?

Pence is no longer a witness. And the whole Jeffrey Clark thing was kosher.

Yup. That’s what the pundits on MSNBC have said about that passage

Sotomayor: "Finally, the majority declares that evidence con- cerning acts for which the President is immune can play no role in any criminal prosecution against him."

Because John Roberts is a fully bought and paid for piece of human shit who hates working Americans and thinks we all must be completely subject to the whims of him and his friends

Hmmm, the majority opinion says, in response to criticism, that *of course* you can point to the president's official public acts in a trial; you just can't "admit testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing the official act itself." (Sotomayor calls this "nonsensical")

This was written with surgical precision to get the just about the whole case tossed under the guise of “well we said you can prosecute him for some stuff, too bad you can’t prove it.”

The morass this decision has created will haunt this country for decades. And it's a green light for Trump to prosecute Biden if he wins. And that's why our task remains exactly as it was at 9:59 AM. We have to stop Trump at the ballot box. There is no other choice.

The “intended effect” is to shield Trump and install him as dictator.
