History in the making.
I fear we are all watching the eradication of the fair rule of law in America.
By the time SCOTUS hands down the opinion, "law" will be applied based on who you are instead of what you do.
I dunno. I don't believe they'll give him the immunity he asks for.
What they might do is say POTUS has some clearly and narrowly defined area of immunity that does not include private acts - things motivated by and affecting him but not the US. Since his own lawyers acknowledge some of the acts he's charged with were private acts, it wouldn't do him much good.

Perhaps. But why in the world should some nebulous distinction of "private" versus "official" even matter at all?
If an act is illegal, it should be at risk of punishment from our criminal justice system.
@sloudermilk
I agree. I think they're trying to get at some hair-splitting compromise.
I could be wrong. The dog knows it's happened before. But I just can't see a way for them to be willing to land firmly on one side or the other. They're too far right to do the right thing and have done with it
