@sfleetucker @BenA denying cert & the stay would have had the same effect. Or they could have just summarily affirmed the appeals court decision.
What other US president would be brazen enough to assert complete immunity from criminal prosecution? It's ridiculous on its face.
@rpardee @BenA By making this a SCOTUS ruling, they'll make it guaranteed nationwide. I despise the delay, but ultimately it'll be settled. (At least until they can pack the court and overturn it like Roe.)
