The Supreme Court has ruled former President Trump has partial immunity from prosecution. Justices ruled Trump is shielded on some levels from criminal charges for acts he took in office.https://t.co/r7fkPl56zk

Meanwhile, many news/talk radio hosts opined that the move was a positive and logical response by the nine Supreme Court justices. They also pushed back against partisan talking points from the other side of the political aisle.
The SCOTUS immunity ruling makes one thing clear: The President’s motive cannot be taken into account when looking at whether something falls within his official prerogatives. ????

Trump does not have “TOTAL” immunity, but by defining his official immunity from prosecution as President, Jack Smith no longer has a case.

Best practice is to drop the whole thing…but he is not an honest actor here. He’s a hired goon. He’ll play it out.

All presidents enjoy broad immunity for their official acts — as expected. Unofficial acts are a different story, and in this case, SCOTUS refers some (unofficial acts-related) elements of the Trump indictment back to the DC circuit for further scrutiny. Case will proceed from… https://t.co/rqVdOlSowv

Trump's legal strategy was to delay and delay, win the election and then the case goes away, yes the ruling is split, but for Trump's goal, a huge victory, a trial is not happening before the election

Big win for Trump: 6-3 decision affirms broad presidential powers & presumption that President acts within those powers while in office. Questions of fact remanded to district court in Jack Smith case. Big takeaway: this case is over. https://t.co/JLTb8MJLvf

Obviously, a president has absolute immunity for official acts. If it’s Donald Trump or anyone else doesn’t matter.
— Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) July 1, 2024
What’s “official” will depend on how partisan a judge might be and might end up in front of SCOTUS again.
No real surprise in this decision, as so far reported.
