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.
Trump, who tried to overthrow an election, campaigned persistently for his fellow party members to grant him absolute immunity for his misdeeds in office.
And they did. If you can't distinguish between "energy in the executive" and a constitutional crime spree, you've given up on US democracy.
SCOTUS simply would grant such broad presidential immunity if a) it was a Democratic President accused of significant wrongdoing, and b) if it was not confident of generational control of the court, which effectively gives it final say on any outcome.
That's key: they create a totally blurry distinction between "official" and "unofficial" acts, to be enforced by them, which allows them to ensure that immunity applies to Republican presidents only. All the jokes about Biden calling on SEAL Team 6 can only reinforce this terrifying point.
