The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up.
The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Four years ago, before the Court pissed people off by overturning Roe and being flamboyantly corrupt all the time, a @takebackthect.bsky.social study found absolutely no electoral peril to Democrats advocating Court expansion. www.huffpost.com/entry/expand... There's 0 reason to think that changed.

I can’t wait for the Biden response to today’s SCOTUS immunity ruling, where he goes “well, it’s not the ruling we expected but it’s one we welcome” and then every R in the land just starts shitting bricks as he reshapes USA into a progressive’s dream of unlimited meritocracy and opportunity.

A country where a minority of voters can elect a president with king-like authority and impunity and federal agencies that lack the power to do any of the things they are meant to do if big rich companies say they don't like it. Culmination shit for the right wing project.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance.
Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power.
A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.
