I went to bed expecting a 6-3 vote with Alito, Gorsuch and Thomas in the bag for Trump. I figured Roberts, Kavanaugh and Barrett at least wouldn't be unhinged enough to grant a president utter immunity from legal consequences for murdering his political enemies or arresting Congress.

I was expecting them to invent some bullshit 3-part test for whether an act falls under the president's official duties. This would have the effect of delaying Trump's trials until after the election, but not making all presidents above the law forever.

Same. I remember how many of us were shocked at Trump lawyer John Sayer telling the Court that assassinating a political rival might be an official act for which the president is immune. That’s crazy! No judge is going to go for that argument! lol…. SCOTUS today: We agree with John Sauer.

USA ON CUSP OF TYRANNY
The Supreme Court's ruling that shields the President frm prosecution in office kindles abuse of power&erosion of democracy. Trump's return to the White House is worry for coups&death of constitutional democracy, rule of law&America's global leadership!

The most important caveat for any new immune acts, Convicted Felon Drimpf has to be president again. All of us rational voters can prevent that from happening. Vote Biden. Only Biden. Your Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness literally depends on it, thanks to the corrupt as hell Supreme Court.

I'm going to throw out a point of order, Gorsuch needs to be addressed by his full title of "Gorsuch the judicial matricide" after the Loper-Bright case invalidated the deference that was granted his mother in Chevron (a related case to Chevron v NRDC was NRDC v Gorsuch, and Chevron disposed both)

I'm back at my 'shoot their shot' mindset. A moonshot, and they fucking nailed our republic with it. I was wrong to think they would be better.

In the long run, doesn't this risk their power in the future? A dictator has no qualms tossing out those who are no longer useful

It seems like there’s often variety of shades and qualities of extremism between them, until a really unambiguous right wing wish list item comes up, and all the sudden they snap in line.
