The more you read yesterday’s immunity decision, the more appalling it gets. My take:

I'm glad you mention the pardon power. I feel like that's not getting nearly enough, because while presidential immunity is a problem, the pardon power is what will really make it work.

Do we need to abandon a presidency in favor of the less power centric PM model? That sounds like a suggestion, but I have no idea if it could work in the US

Yes. I think it's clear that the majority is MUCH more concerned not with what Trump did to retain power after clearly losing an election but with the fact that he has been indicted for it. I doubt this would be their primary concern if a Democrat had done the exact same things.

The supreme court, 6 of 9 judges who are totally unbiased and not being paid off, ruled in favor of the person representing the party who paid them. I'm SHOCKED, I tell you, SHOCKED!

Yes: "It is now clear that [SCOTUS] believes...both courts and presidents stand beyond the reach of the law." But this means their "decision" is really a crime—a tyrannical act demanding intervention. Please call on the current, newly "immune" POTUS to pack the Court now. bsky.app/profile/flyi...

I wonder if they realize this could be used by a Democrat President to their advantage. Republicans need to realize these sort of things could be used by their opponents.

The worst part about it is that there is no immunity law to base the descicion, Under the same logic Roe v Wade was repealed this court is actually legislating and does it in a contradictory manner.

It's literally a criminal act since the purpose is obstruction of justice. The inclusion of an otherwise atopical clause banning evidence is the tell. That has nothing to do with the case they were hearing. It's about killing the guilty verdict in New York. And it's without legal foundation.

In the future presidents can simply shape illegal activities to fit the description of an official act. For example, having a political opponent assassinated in order to save democracy. Protecting the country is covered under Article 1, right?

Your conclusion, "...a future Trump White House could become the site of a criminal enterprise that would make Richard Nixon’s plumbers unit look like child’s play." ... has a parallel: The corruption of these Justices makes Abe Fortas look squeaky clean.

The idea that the Court is immune from regulation is nowhere in the Constitution. It is time for Congress to use its powers.
