First SCOTUS Opinion of the Day: Corner Post v. Federal Reserve. Justice Barrett (6-3, standard 3 liberals in dissent) writes that a claim under the APA does not accrue until plaintiff is injured by final agency action. According to dissent, this is a "staggering" decision, undercutting agencies.

Third SCOTUS Opinion of the Day: Trump Immunity. Chief Justice Roberts (6-3) holds that Trump has "presumptive immunity" for all "official acts" and no immunity for "unofficial acts". Remands to District Court to determine which parts of the indictment of Trump should be dismissed.

I do not recommend that any fervent POTUS opponent climb a high-story building in the next hundred years. They may exit the building in the same manner as Putin's opponents: at terminal velocity and impact. Used to be unthinkable, but here we are.
I forgot the details of the case. Did Trump argue that acts related to reelection efforts were official acts?

So now the district judge will hear some kind of argument on what is and isn't official, make a ruling, trump will appeal, another round with the appeals court, then back to SCOTUS on what is or is not "official"?

That is my read. We are years away from even the possibility of a trial on the January 6 indictment of Former President Trump.

The morass this decision has created will haunt this country for decades. And it's a green light for Trump to prosecute Biden if he wins. And that's why our task remains exactly as it was at 9:59 AM. We have to stop Trump at the ballot box. There is no other choice.

And days away from the documents case in Florida from being dismissed because "he stole those documents as an official act".

Great. *sigh* Thanks for the insight. :)

So can Biden officially order the arrest and detention of the Opus Dei six, Aileen Cannon, and DJT at Gitmo? They surely are a threat to national security.

So gutless of them to drop this as the very last case of the term and then slink off into their billionaire friends' private retreats.

It appears that Chief Justice Roberts and his conservative colleagues have adopted the legal maxim IOKIYAAR (It's OK If You Are A Republican).
