I expect the Supreme Court to tule that official acts as President MAY afford some immunity, but it depends on what the act in question was, and therefore must be judged on a case by case basis.

I don't think they are that stupid.

Because that could require them to litigate every single act a president took while in office. Every single one. We would have to set up a full time court just to have all the hearings.

No one wants to open up that can of worms.

But sure, let's drag Jimma Car-ter into court and have him charged with offenses against the security of the US by shutting down Verona. For starters.

I have a real long list.

It would only take a couple of rulings for them to say those were official acts to shut down much of anything else being raised that appeared to be an official act by a President. The other options are worse - to say there is full immunity for anything a President does while in office (0% chance of happening) or that there is no immunity at all (what you are talking about - a deluge of cases prosecuting Presidents - would happen then).
