*Supreme Court says Trump (or any president) has absolute immunity for core acts only - and they will decide what acts are "core".

If it's someone they like - absolute immunity!

If it's someone they don't like...

This is a right wing judicial coup.

So the president just has every justice killed that disagrees with him what a core act is. Brilliant.

They actually sent it back to a lower court to classify the charges.

Which will be appealed to the SC because the SC didn't set any test for what is and is not covered. So the SC will decide.
