I think that the Supreme Court will adopt some iteration of qualified sovereign immunity. Integral to this concept is whether the employee was acting within the normal course and scope of his job. If he was, he is immune. If he wasn’t, there is no immunity.

The more important point related to sovereign immunity is that a President should never be subject to prosecution by an Executive Branch department that operates under the direct oversight of the Office of the President of the United States. It’s even more ludicrous when you consider that the Justice Department didn’t even exist when the Constitution was written.

I think that it would be hard to define “normal” in a way that makes policy sense.
