Greg Sargent: The Supreme Court ruling on absolute immunity gives the president "something like the immunity that a king in England would have enjoyed," says @rickhasen.bsky.social on this pod. "And that immunity is great power."

Frightening @rickhasen.bsky.social take on SCOTUS ruling and second Trump term: "The opportunity for him to commit crime has been vastly expanded...this opinion does a lot of damage to the rule of law." On the pod, we go deep into how SCOTUS has unshackled Trump: newrepublic.com/article/1833...

Supreme Court Shocker Could Give Trump Terrifying Second-Term Powersnewrepublic.com In the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling on Trump's demand for immunity, a leading legal expert explains why there's deep cause for alarm about what he'll be free to attempt if he wins again.

That's the end folks. SCOTUS made itself the arbiter, which will constrain Biden if he dared to try to make a point with a single act. Trump will use it as he has always used the legal system (& as he lies). He will break the law with such rapidity & volume that the legal system will be useless.

All the legal immunity of a monarch but none of the legal limits to their powers 😭

And if there's anyone lawless enough to maximize such power, it's the sociopathic trump America, this is your final break-the-glass and grab the weapons opportunity
