Trump was president for four years, enjoyed all of this immunity already, and not one politician was murdered. Pretty sure we’ll be alright.

Says right in the ruling it’s up to the trails court to determine what is official.

A president can’t claim immunity. The president has always had immunity for acts that the constitution provides the office.

The president has inferred immunity for powers shared with Congress.

The president enjoys no immunity for acts as a private citizen.

These are important distinctions.

You or I cannot bomb another country. The president can.

You or I cannot kill a maid. The president cannot.

Only acts used with the power of the office are immune. You can’t use presidential authority to sexually harass your staff. That’s against the law.

The ruling didn’t change anything, nor was anything given. SCOTUS doesn’t create the law. We don’t have a magical genie godking president all of a sudden.

The law applies to the president always.

Here is what this ruling is for -

First - if I order an enemy of the US dead I can be prosecuted.

The president orders an enemy dead. That enemy is killed. The president cannot be prosecuted for that act.

What this ruling does - the president may also not be prosecuted for that act after they leave office.

That’s all this does. That’s it. If the president kills a maid in the White House he or she will go to prison because that is against the law and not within the duties of the office.

Ah, I’m sure the party you like has the solution. How dare anyone vote in a way you don’t approve of.

I have several friends in France. Immigration is a big part of why they are voting conservative.

You truly believe the court gave full immunity for all things don’t you? You must have missed the part where it’s only for actions carrying out functions of the constitution. Everything else enjoys no such privilege. If a president commits a crime it is not protected. Further, a court (not the supreme court) can determine if the act was official or not.

Misinformation. This does not allow the president to commit a crime and then say it was all in an official capacity. The very act of doing something criminal immediately puts it out of the realm of any official capacity. Obviously.
