I mean, all the SCOTUS did was confirm everything we've know and practiced since the US was founded? I don't get why anyone is freaking out over this. If the President could be sued for the decisions he makes doing his job, gold help us.... this is just.... obvious? But since it seemingly "helps" Trump the MSM and Democrats are going crazy. However, if this wasn't the case, do they realize the huge can of worms that would be opened up forever?

They would not have even taken the case if the established law on presidential immunity was the case. Lower courts already had that part covered. Please study the issue even little and find out what the problem is. The new interpretation text gives "absolute immunity" for official acts. Read Sotomayor's dissent to learn what changes.
- johng 2y agoI have read it, and I have studied the issue. Sotomayor's dissent 100% completely misses the mark and reads as a political hit piece rather than a true dissent. This is all meant to be a distraction from Biden. Get people worked up about January 6th with far-fetched ideas about Trump killing people who talk badly about him so they can get people in a froth about "protecting democracy" when they are trying to do the opposite. Shitting on every supreme court decision they don't like doesn't sound like democracy to me either. Funny how they want democracy when it works for them, but hate democracy and want to change it and pack the courts when it works against them. Pot, meet kettle.
