        If your dog voted for Trump, would you shoot it in the face?

              Presidential immunity is not the Constitution. Are the fake textualists Thomas and Alito going to try to put it in there to get Trump off the hook? Insane.

                Seems like an awful lot of handwringing over a ruling that doesn’t exist yet.

                        According to a CNN poll both Trump and Biden where failures as presidents... One far more than the other.

                          My guess is they are going to send it back down to the lower courts to grind on it some more and nothing is going to be decided before the elections... who wants to go down into history being accused of election interference?

                          I hope they rule that presidents are not immune eventually so they can throw Grandpa Joe into jail (before he kicks over) for all the money laundering he did with his family.

                              I assume the Court will hold that there is something resembling presidential immunity for official actions, even if they stop short of determining that Trump's actions qualify as official actions.

                              That wouldn't be the worst outcome in the world. When you look back at Roman history, a major factor in what caused Caesar to march on Rome was the likelihood that he would be prosecuted for improper conduct while exercising proconsular imperium once that imperium expired. If a President can prosecute his predecessor, that just raises the stakes, and make it even more probable that the predecessor will refuse to relinquish power or allow the transition.

                              On the other hand, presidential immunity would insulate the President and encourage bad behavior, knowing that he is immune from prosecution. The primary remedy to that concern would seemingly be impeachment and removal from office, though that is an imperfect fix too.

                              Ideally, we just wouldn't elect boneheads that flagrantly flout the law. But here we are.
