"The real concern, Chief Justice Roberts said, was not that immunity would embolden presidents to commit crimes with impunity, but rather that without it, the country’s rival leaders would endlessly be at each others’ throats." This ruling achieves the exact opposite of Roberts's stated goal.

There's nothing in this ruling that makes it harder for a sitting POTUS to corruptly prosecute an ex-POTUS. The only charges that are made more difficult are charges relating to the ex-president's acts as president? So what? The ex-POTUS can still be charged for invented post-presidency crimes.

So, if Biden wants to order the DOJ to plant a stash of heroin at MAL and arrest Trump for being a drug dealer, there's nothing in this ruling that prevents that. The main difference is that before this ruling,Biden could have been prosecuted for issuing such an order and now he has total immunity.

So again, in the interest of preventing a corrupt POTUS from weaponizing the DOJ, Roberts has granted totally immunity to any POTUS who weaponizes the DOJ. Roberts is a moron.

Um, those views are entirely the same. Democrats: the GOP will use this to abuse power and attack political opponents GOP: We're going to use this to abuse power and attack political opponents. You are hacks.

NYT is reporting on this as news, but they clearly don't think Trump's "dark view of tit-for-tat partisan prosecutions" is a bad thing. They've been major cheerleaders of his approach for the past eight years.

Sorry what? The majority invented a new presidential power in direct contradiction of the clear intent of the Constitution and Founders they claim to revere.

Meanwhile, the Heritage Foundation is calling this the 2nd American Revolution and fascists are rejoicing with where the country is headed. But the sold out NYT is with them. ALL. THE. WAY.

Roberts gave Trump unfettered power to crime. Biden isn’t prosecuting Trump the DOJ is. Get a grip.

“Dark view”. Best you can do huh? Your tabloid rag is lost. Fuck off.

Let me put this in simple terms: Instead of debating whether the decision was a good one and the impact it could have in the wrong hands, it would be more efficient to demonstrate the full effect by utilizing a nothing-to-lose sitting president making use of his newfound immunity

Arrest the corrupt SC Judges who have lived a life of corruption accepting $M in bribes. Arrest the MAGA insurrectionists sitting in Congress. Jail their leader Trump before he rapes again or incites a second violent coup. Do it Joe. Then resign. The Court has granted you immunity!
