the simple way to think about it is that the office of the presidency is a gun. the Court has held that when you become the President, you have an unfettered right to use that gun any way you please. an insane decision.

It’s cool how Roberts completely annihilated DoJ independence with a little fun aside, as a treat

The court has no oversight, the president can do whatever the president wants, and congress is…tied up by things like the filibuster, the parliamentarian, and centrist Dems who wanna play nice with republicans? 🫠

Any angle for Biden to, say, cancel student debt with this decision?

AND that would be the definition of a criminal! Using the gun as you wish and NOT taking the right OR wrong into account.

Instead of reigning in the use of nuclear weapons they're just extending that power to everything the president does.

dumdum question but there were lots of references to absolute immunity vs “presumptive” immunity in the ruling, what’s the difference?

Does that essentially remove the courts' check on executive power? Could Biden then theoretically do whatever he wants and ignore SCOTUS entirely?
