As others have pointed out the SC anticipated the problem of also giving immunity to a Democratic President by including the language that cautions the definition of "official duties" is open to interpretation and will ultimately have to be defined by the court (and no one thinks they would rule in favor of a Dem president if Biden tried to take advantage to arrest trump) fb.watch/tfvH15n72n

So what. They can drag it on for months then Biddn's president and he can remove the judges and put in new ones who will take away immunity for good.
You donтАЩt know that. You cited an N=1. It still doesnтАЩt change the fact that the Biden administration has been soft on Trump for 4 years. I think theyтАЩre afraid of republicans.
Which part out don't I know? That the language of the decision gives the judicial system full control over deciding what is an official duty in any future lawsuit? This has been explained by any number of people. Or that in the event Biden did something before he left that the supreme Court wouldn't slap his hand and deny him the same leeway that they're going to give Trump.
It would take months to get a decision. And he can choose to ignore them. Meanwhile Trump's in jail.
Which constitutional experts?
