Sorry for the NPR and Totenberg source, but it was the best summary I could find for this case as it is breaking news.

congress is the one to keep checks on the president- they did not- because there was nothing legitimate to impeach him for concerning this case that is examining his NY trial- Trump was immune from prosecution, and again, Congress didn’t bring up charges for impeachment- The NY trial is a sham- Thankfully the SC has stepped in and made it clear that he can’t be tried for what the left are alleging he did

So in a way it a bitter victory? Immune from official acts during the time in office, but unofficial acts can still proceed. Am I reading this right? So all Jack Smith, and his rotten evil to the core judicial branch compadres have to do is change the wording to unofficial act and continue the harassment against President Trump. They did it with the expiration of limitations so they’ll do it here again. They see their candidate, FJB has a fatal wound and they’re going to try to bring Trump to his knees and totally destroy him. It’s an all out war for them now and we’re barely in July. God help us.

From the conclusion of the opinion:

"It is these enduring principles that guide our decision in this case. The President enjoys no immunity for his nofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution. And the system of separated powers designed by the Framers has always demanded an energetic, independent Executive. The President therefore may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled, at a minimum, to a presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office, regardless of politics, policy, or party.
The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the D. C. Circuit is vacated, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered. "

The NPR fake news team is looking to get a refill on their prescription of COPIUM.

My read of the decision is that slow Joe has no immunity for any illegal acts, such as, interfering with Hunters prosecution, criminally conspiring with the DOJ to implement political trials against Trump.

I hope that the House impeaches Biden and that when Trump wins, the DOJ investigates Biden and he is convicted as a felon and dies in jail. I know....wishful thinking and he would plead lack of mental capacity or be dead before sentencing.

if im not mistake, the ruling basically stated that prosecutors can’t just assign nefarious motives to presidents in order to prosecute them because presidents have immunity- because that woudl be like trying ‘thought crimes’?

The Supreme Court decided the law correctly, but the nature of each of Trump’s actions in legal dispute, whether official in some respect, or just reelection motivated, are still subject to adjudication.

When you are the POTUS and the presidential election is stolen by the far left turd rollers, it is your job to raise hell and ask questions. There no longer any doubt that the election was stolen. Trump was doing his presidential job challenging the results.

Biden could dissolve on stage and I still would not bet on Trump. American voter is too unpredictable.

The best decision we could hope for. Blanket immunity would be a bad precedent for an already overpowered presidential office, but presidents need some latitude to act without constant legal jeopardy.

The Left need to keep in mind that if they got what they wanted as soon as Trump or another Republican wins office, Obama would likely get dragged into court (not that he doesn’t deserve it). Every future president would have to write a pardon for himself on his way out of office or be subject to continuous prosecution and legal harassment as soon as the opposing party comes into office.

A politically motivated seizure of a major party presidential candidate’s real property would be a violation of the Amendment IV right to be secure against unreasonable seizures.

I see nothing but a big win for us, our nation and Pres Trump in this decision.

In honor of Independence Day, I’m not sifting through the doom and gloom to read to the contrary.

Waging a politically motivated lawfare campaign against a former president who ran against the elected President violates the Amendment IV right of a person to be secure against unreasonable seizures when that former president is compelled by any co-conspirator to present his person under color of law to answer an obviously dubious charge. The charges made by any co-conspirator to that campaign should be dismissed with prejudice.

Dang.

That means we can not try Clinton for Waco, Carter for Verona or Obama for Benghazi.

I was drawing up a big ol list.

Is taking bribes from China to change US policy an offcial act or an unofficial act of office?

I have trouble believing this nasty hag is still at it. 80 years old, and has spent most of it destroying things.
