At a minimum, the President must be immune from prosecution for an official act unless the Government can show that applying a criminal prohibition to that act would pose no “dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch."
Branch.”

As for a President’s unofficial acts, there is no immunity. Alt-
hough Presidential immunity is required for official actions to ensure that the President’s decisionmaking is not distorted by the threat of future litigation stemming from those actions, that concern does not support immunity for unofficial conduct.

In dividing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into the President’s motives. Such a “highly intrusive” inquiry would
risk exposing even the most obvious instances of official conduct to judicial examination on the mere allegation of improper purpose.

The indictment’s allegations that the requested investigations were shams or proposed for an improper purpose do not divest the President of exclusive authority over the investigative and prosecutorial functions of the Justice Department and its officials. Because the President cannot be prosecuted for conduct within his exclusive constitutional authority, Trump is absolutely immune from prosecution for the alleged conduct involving his discussions with Justice Department officials.

Re the attempt to overthrow election results in various states, the majority writes:

"The Court accordingly remands to the District Court to determine in the first instance whether Trump’s conduct in this area qualifies as official or unofficial."

also remands to the district court a review of whether "a President's public communications" are an official act.

"The President enjoys no im-
munity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But under our system of
separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts."

6-3, with the three liberal judges dissenting.

My hot take ... The majority just ruled a president can commit crimes until a district court decides such criminal acts were not an official act.

Hopefully is sending the military over to the Supreme Court building right now to arrest the six justices, and will hold them until a district court rules after he leaves office that it was illegal.

Sotomayor: "The President is now a king above the law.”

“Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.”

Press Release....

As my first path is to protect and defend The Constitution of these United States... I am sending officers of the Secret Service and the military to arrest and hold 6 members of the supreme court.
In their most recent ruling, this act is legal and justifiable with respect to their decision...

Also, members of Congress that have shown that their abeyance to the previous president will also be arrested...

I will be releasing the names of my 6 replacements to refill the court in the coming week.

@WordsmithFL

This is back to square one and malfeasance, abuse and incompetence from this blantantly corrupt SCOTUS.

They sat on this for months, to delay the trial before the election.

They should've never accepted this case or they should've moved on it briskly, and gotten it back to the lower court.

Justice delayed is justice denied. This will be the most historically obvious egregious example of it.

SCOTUS is corrupt crazed and dangerous. Roberts must step down or be impeached.
