"Without the immunity decision, Trump would probably still be dragging out his appeals in his multitude of criminal cases, and the rest of us would be living in a world where the federal government remains functional. Instead, Trump has taken full advantage of that immunity, not just to dodge his crimes, but to crown himself a king, above all laws. And thus far, the Court seems more than happy to help."

"Roberts’ opinion provides an open invitation for Trump to do exactly what he’s doing now.
Worse, it actually lays out a clear and easy-to-follow road map on how he can and should pursue it without risking his own hide—tap into the most essential powers of the presidency to protect himself, no matter how lawlessly those powers are wielded."
