This contract dispute has nothing to do with Presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. Cancelling SpaceX contracts for political reasons would be wrong but not criminal.
- catlifeonmars 1y agoThe point is we won’t find out because presidential immunity also protects against discovery. Cases that previously could have been decided on the merits won’t even make it to adjudication.
- nradov 1y agoNo, that's not how it works. The Trump v. United States case had no bearing on civil discovery.

- overfeed 1y agoBur it protects against criminal discovery, Civil cases can be quashed by current president uaing methods that used to be criminal for a president.
