Zaphod42 "...immune from prosecution for all official acts, no matter how illegal."No, not exactly. But definitely not clear either.
Most ordinary people really don't like what they think they know about the new rules on presidential immunity. Absolute power with absolutely no accountability makes anyone who values their liberty a little sick. And all the right wing maggots jacking off now over Trump 2 will be choking when time moves on, and someone they don't like starts calling the shots.
But what matters is, even with a shift in enforcement there actually is still no complete and total immunity for
anything a President may do in
every situation. The problem is that the Supreme Court, news reports, and especially social media have all done a shitty job explaining what the decision in Trump vs. United States really means in practical terms - or how it should be applied.
One indication of what's up is that special prosecutor Jack Smith did
not drop all criminal charges against Trump after the Court's ruling in July. He amended them. He only withdrew the case after the election, when it was clear no Justice Dept under Trump would go forward.
So are there still some limits on executive privilege and Presidential authority? Yes, probably.
What are they? No one knows for sure.
Yet.
