    Save you a click:

    In a 6-3 ruling authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court found that a president has absolute immunity for acts within their core constitutional powers and a presumption of immunity for “acts within the outer perimeter of his official responsibility.”

    Judge Chutkan will now be responsible for applying the Supreme Court’s decision to the allegations in Trump’s criminal case, including whether Trump’s actions were “official acts” or private conduct that can be prosecuted.

      “Outer perimeter of official responsibility”?

      WTF is that? How is that enforceable?

      You know what is much easier to enforce?

      “No. One. Is. Above. The. Law.”

      As the Founding Fathers obviously intended.

      It’s like the universe is trying to make it obvious that this is a stupid and nonsensical path but our “supreme” judges keep setting us up for absolute failure as a nation.
