This summary of Rahimi, from noted constitutional scholar @petersagal.bsky.social, strikes me as the only short term way out of the Immunity ruling. Once it became clear how nutball Bruen was, everyone but Thomas came around, somewhat. bsky.app/profile/pete...
I recommend reading through the Rahimi decision, concurrences and dissent. Decision: Bruen was fine, but let’s not get crazy. Gorsuch, Kavanagh: Bruen may be nuts, but originalism is good! Kagan, Sotomayor: We done told you Jackson: Look at the mess you made Thomas: DIE UNHAPPY LOSERS

The problem is that while there is no shortage of gun cases with absurd results to feed up for cert, presidential immunity cases will be very rare (and if they aren’t then we likely have other big problems) and so it could take awhile for the Court to come around.
