If the #SCOTUS rules in favor of #Trump's claim of presidential immunity and presumably any current or future POTUS, then #Biden can really have a lot of fun for his “unlimited” amount of time he has left in the #WhiteHouse. Isn't that correct?

I see a #CrimeSpree coming and the #RepublicanParty is going to be outlawed, beaten down and run out of the country. I also see socializes medicine and legalized abortions. The possibilities are endless. Careful of what you wish for. #KingBiden

@TopKnot the thing is, the administration's application to the SCOTUS is actually fairly misleading. You can see how it changes the way it describes the legal status throughout the application.

In reality, there is no request for unlimited immunity. That's a dishonest part of the filing.

Instead, in short, Trump's team refers to the well-established notion that a person execution the legal actions of the office--and ONLY the legal actions of the office--can't be held personally accountable for those.

That's a limited view of immunity. But there's so much misreporting about what the filing actually says, so a lot of people are misinformed about it.
