Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoPresidential immunity. It’s a blanket statement of “you’re wrong” to everything you could possibly follow up with attempting to rebutt that statement.

Presidential immunity doesn’t extend to every other person acting at the direction of the President. In fact, it extends to nobody. It may not even work if prosecuted, because that’s not what SCOTUS actually said. They only said that president couldn’t essentially be held liable for presidential actions, and then didn’t clarify exactly what those were. They intentionally didn’t specifically make a list of this actions, which depending on your viewpoint, means it’s everything, or nothing.

Oh I like that. Schrodinger’s box with presidential immunity in it.
