Too Big to Fail: The thing I keep coming back to about... well, everything related to Trump, but this SCOTUS decision specifically... is that it shows that in retrospect, everything Nixon did was perfectly fine and the only mistake he made was resigning. That's the takeaway. Nothing is true; everything is permitted.

I'm reading the opinion and it says he enjoys absolute immunity regarding threats to fire the attorney general if they don't do what he wants. So, he could easily just say "investigate or prosecute my friends and you're fired" and he's 100% immune, right?

I suppose we thank the Court for creating a situation to make Assassin’s Creed references.

I’m sure their only regret is they couldn’t issue this ruling in time to save him.

Handing the executive complete and unaccountable power feels like the political science equivalent of going from modern refrigeration, to buying blocks of ice off the back of a horse-drawn buggy.

Ni shagu nazad, but for all Republicans ever after

The only difference is the Court-he was right to be pretty confident they would not have reached this result & would have found his actions illegal, going forward anything a president does to get re-elected is now “fine”
