Well, I guess this ruling makes me eat my words, almost exactly a month ago, that Trump's 34 felony counts was "a good day" for the spirit of Montesquieu checks and balances in this country: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40529062#40529905 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40529062#40529905 Sotomayor has channeled her inner-Scalia in her dissent, and she hit the nail on the head. This is now kingship, this is de-facto sovereign immunity. This ruling was not constitutionally purposivist, it was not textualist, it was not originalist. It goes against the very founding of America in the contexts of its original conception and revolution. This is BAD.
