If Trump gets immunity it will only be for acts as President.
The author is making the case that Presidents should have immunity from states prosecuting them over alleged violations of Federal law, and I agree. Such prosecutions are already restricted by our legal system, when applied to ordinary citizens. How much more so when being applied to a President? President Trump should be immune from the New York indictment on jurisdictional considerations alone, regardless of the larger Presidential immunity question.
I think it’s likely he’ll get the broad immunity he is
requesting, with specific carve outs for top level felonies.
This show trial in NY is going to be addressed, and it will
be destroyed during the process.
As CIC, presidents should get fairly broad covered powers,
but they shouldn’t be able to pick up a gun and kill
someone without repercussions. Other specific items that
they would not be protected from, will appear also.
Any way they can stop this nonsense in the bud, is okay
with me.
I want to know how you got 177 words to show in the snippet.
With 3 weeks remaining in the term, there are 30 cases remaining undecided. The Court is going to have to issue an average of ten opinions a week between now and the first of July. They have been issuing about 3 a week up to now so they are going to have to pick up the pace. The next decision day listed on the calendar is Thursday, but they will soon start scheduling a second or even third opinion day each week.
You can see a list of this year’s cases here:

(The cases that have “Held” and the court’s findings below them have already been decided. Those that remain undecided indicate the “Issue” to be resolved. The Chevron cases, the Fischer case, and the Presidential immunity case is three of the most waited-for opinions. I suspect they will be issued during the last week of June.)
