@bobson-dugnut.bsky.social: Should launch investigations into Ginni and Mrs alito asap.

Just started reading the immunity opinion and it is *so* striking how Roberts emphasizes this is the first time a former president has been criminally prosecuted, addressing it very antiseptically and without reference to the first time a president tried to block the peaceful transfer of power.

"certain tape recordings" (we won't dwell on what those were and we're now kind of sad about that precedent)

Again, Roberts majority has everything upside down; yes, we do want to restrain presidents from committing crimes, and have fear of prosecution for those crimes

Ok, he does finally admit after all that that the president is not above the law (p. 14), seemingly an empty concession given what follows.

DO NOT INQUIRE ABOUT WHETHER THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION

Don't worry, everyone, Trump won't ever try to take advantage of this passage ever again

This is really really really really bad.

Should launch investigations into Ginni and Mrs alito asap.
