Wonder if that “first 100 days of trump” post is still archived somewhere. Or did it get nuked with the rest of that sub
Yup, that was the other one I was thinking of.
After seeing this picture, it’s pretty clear how he came up with the bleach enema question:

Any opinion that supports immunity to any genuine degree in this case will be crazy from the get go.
Like, there may be some room for carve-outs from prosecution, and “official acts” (while too broad) is the standard exception. (However, there is no “official acts” exception even when ORDERED to do X in the military. Maybe hold the president to the same standard as the troops; after all, his actions are not compelled.) But, while flawed, “official acts” is a nice, lazy conservative rule that has left presidents unmolested for 235 years.
The one thing that a rule must absolutely capture is the worst case, and the worst case is impeding the lawful transfer of power. That’s literally the thing in history that destroys every functioning society. I haven’t seen that emphasized enough–the one job the court has is to absolutely preserve the ability to prosecute those who would seek to retain power unlawfully.

Courts. What can we do. The president said bazinga when doing the coup. Guess he’s the president for life now. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Elie Mystal’s twitter commentary at threadreader. He speculates the case will be returned to the lower court in DC to waste more time and ofc “that could be the ballgame”.

From Mystal:
I had hoped that one of the liberal justices would have made the point from the Common Cause brief, highlighting that the whole point of what Republican justices are doing is to give Trump delay.
Not a persuasive argument for the justices, but good for the media to hear.
The case is submitted. Court doesn’t come back till May 9th which will be a decision day.But I think they won’t decide this case until July 3rd for max delay. And that decision will be 5-4 to remand the case back to DC, for additional delay.
I wish I had better news for you. Thanks anyway for following along with our national descent into madness.
