Post #1 of this thread somehow got deleted. Here is is the scathing dissenting opinion by Judge Sotomayor again.
"The Court effectively creates a law-free zone around the President, upsetting the status quo that has existed since the Founding.
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."

Roberts has the opinion for the court. Thomas concurs. Barrett concurs in part. Sotomayor dissents for the Democratic appointees. Jackson also writes her own dissent. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf
