A lot of "legal experts" were telling people they didn't think this was going to happen and that SCOTUS was just delaying throwing out the immunity challenge to be sure a trial wouldn't happen. So, uh, worst case scenario?
It's time for President Biden to label trump as a threat to democracy then (fill in your desired punishment that won't happen cuz President Biden is a decent person).
The Supremely Corrupt have abandoned the rule of law and will instead decide right and wrong at the highest level based on the wishes of their billionaire bribers, and hidden behind nebulous arguments about what was a private or official act.
Have you gotten any idea… was this decision beyond even what “legal type people” thought was going to happen? I’m getting the impression yes, based on reactions. That the thought was only alito and Thomas would go this far… really wondering
On Fox News they trotted Turley out after Dems called the ruling ridiculous, but all he can muster is “Disagree with the justices all you want, but where’s the civility??”
I haven’t seen anything defending the decision, besides like “Supreme Court rules Biden can’t be sued by Trump,” type stuff.
Thomas is another asshole that sexually harassed Anita Hill but was confirmed anyway.
If SCOTUS had term limits, he’d be long gone.
I don’t give a flying fuck what the over-privileged Founding Fathers wrote 200 yrs ago.
No one in gov should have lifetime appointments!
It leads to power abuse.
Has Dick Durbin weighed in on any of this yet? Not that it really matters at this point, but I’d be very curious to hear his timorous prevaricating today, see if anything’s changed, scales have fallen from eyes, etc.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
"There is nothing more or else to it..."

The immunity decision leaves ample leeway for the Court to find a million reasons why the actions of a Democrat president are not protected from prosecution.
To complete the dystopian circle, now need the Conservative Justices starring in one of those ‘How Do You Sleep At Night?’ commercials.
‘Just Fine’ - they will say.
