I finally set aside some time to read the Supreme Court's Trump-immunity opinion in full. And the highlighted text may be the most insultingly disingenuous sentence I've ever read in a SCOTUS opinion: This case exists *because* a president felt "empowered to violate federal criminal law."
Meanwhile, Sotomayor's dissent has this remarkable swipe at the majority's creation of ahistorical absolute immunity: "Feel free to skip over those pages of the majority’s opinion." Her dissent and Jackson's ably dissect the absurdity of saying the real victim here is a future president. Read them.
