Immunity ruling will probably come out tomorrow. However, even if it does comes down today, it will be 9-0 in favor of Presidential immunity.
Why 9-0?
Well, the left needs to be sure their lefty Democrat/Communist/Dictatorial Presidents are never convicted of crimes they commit in the line of duty.
Since the leftists commie Attorney Generals across the land have decided they can convict a President over a bad ham sandwich, they are not going to take a chance, that conservative Attorney Generals will go after their commie Presidents.
Thus I am confident that the ruling will be 9-0 in favor of immunity.
“Thus I am confident that the ruling will be 9-0 in favor of immunity.”
I mostly agree based upon the same reasoning. But they may give a narrow pathway for the left to go against Trump (and Trump only).
We have the second opinion. It is Chiaverini v. City of Napoleon. It is by Justice Kagan and the vote is 6-3. Thomas dissents, joined by Alito; Gorsuch has his own dissent.
The question before the court was whether a claim for malicious prosecution can proceed for a baseless criminal charge, even if there was probable cause for prosecutors to bring other criminal charges.

I am hoping also. People still have to realize that FDR committed a pretty serious infraction with interning huge numbers of American Nisei during WWII. IMO, the same thing goes with Johnson and Gulf of Tonkin...
I’m confused about this one because someone said immunity will be kicked back to the lower court to define ‘official business’. How does this shake out in this regard?
Bet all you own or hope to own on that?
Zen Master, my court guru, says Trump wins the immunity vote 6-3 or possibly 7-2, but says the total leftoids on the court won’t go for it.
That does not let the Presidential Potato off the hook. The majority of his crimes occurred when he was Vice Mullah.
The leftists on the court, even if they believe the law confers immunity, will vote against President Trump -- against immunity. Politics trump all.
They can always vote the opposite next time to protect their own.
7-2. “Wise Latina”, and “Don’t know what a woman is” will vote no. Kagan will probably see future effect on future Donk Preses
I sort of agree, they will rule for full immunity for any PUBLIC act or anything that could be construed as a public act. Basically, anything the president could pardon himself for he has immunity against.
So a president couldn’t murder his wife, because he cant pardon a state crime like murder etc.
