The #SCOTUS is merely correcting our misunderstanding of the Constitution. You thought "execute the Office" was about faithfully following the laws? Silly you. Execute means kill and now the #PRESIDENT can kill his office and any laws (or political opponents) he doesn't like. No idea why it took the six of them over 100 pages to explain such a silly little mistake.
@joelion OF COURSE people need immunity from improper prosecution!
Do YOU want this administration (or, heaven forbid, a Trump administration) hauling you into court and making you face trial based on faulty charges? We have protections against that, right? And for good reason?
Well, those protections are exactly immunity from prosecution.
The Court here merely pointed out that some charges were faulty while others were proper, and Trump SHOULD face the court based on the proper charges.
@volkris @shanen lawful conduct doesn’t need immunity from prosecution, because, by definition, it’s already legal. They gave immunity for “official acts”. He may be carrying out “official acts” in an illegal manner.
