   “Trump’s efforts to pressure the Justice Department to legitimize his false claims of voter fraud would be immune from criminal prosecution because overseeing the department’s operations are a core duty of the president.” Let that sink in. https://www.inquirer.com/news/nation-world/scotus-trump-immunity-opinion-20240701.html

     “The (majority of) justices said that Mr. Trump is immune from prosecution for official acts taken during his presidency but that there was a crucial distinction between official and private conduct." Absolutely wild. Instigating a coup in your “official” capacity in order to stay in said official capacity because you lost the election but don’t want to step down is fair game now. This decision is beyond the pale.
