Sotomoyer has a long dissent where she cherry-picks everything Trump supposedly did as part of his ‘conspiracy’ and then notes that the Constitution is silent about prosecuting _former_ Presidents for crimes... notwithstanding that Trump was actually the President at the time, of course, and she seems to walk a razor-thin line about preferring prosecution for official acts after leaving office.

At first glance, it seems as if she’s arguing this: suppose a (real) perp strikes an immunity plea deal with a D.A. to rat out co-conspirators for a crime. Everybody signs off and the guy is released. A month later, he’s re-arrested and prosecuted when the same D.A. says “oh, that immunity deal has expired now that you’re no longer in a position to help us.”

Sotomoyer’s dissent is riddled with MSNBC talking points and historical inaccuracies. She is a disgrace.
