What will the electorate do? Are we spineless in the face of such blatant disregard of our Constitution by what is now a Fascist supreme court like Hitler’s willing judges. I wonder given what Thom points out we are seeing and have seen. When do we the majority of people reach the point of the Brits and force the wanna be dictators to enact the checks that they have nullified through their bought and paid-for corrupted judges?
The electorate and the states can ignore the Supreme court. Like Andrew Jackson said, Justice Marshall has ruled, now let him enforce his ruling.
SCOTUS has lost any moral authority that it had when it doesn't force Justices with conflicts to recuse, when it makes it's own laws, and disregards precedent, when it's justices are paid guns for hire, and as corrupt as the man to whom they will bestow immunity from all crimes and misdemeanors.
Whatever they say goes. We fought a civil war to support rule of law. SCOTUS speaks for the Constitution and opinions have the force of law.
I think they'll tweak the DC opinion, remand back with instructions. Immunity in this fact pattern may be as much a matter of fact -- a jury question -- as a legal concept.
I'm on several websites where we speak about this in detail, and I don't want to give Trump advice but traditionally, a court would compare the job title and duties with his conduct. The terms "course and scope" of his the office of the presidency are applied. Generally, the scope of employment is the range of activities and conducts that an employee is reasonably expected to perform.
Also stuff like "frolic and detour," would be applied. All of this would be determined before trial and the facts reduced to writing as jury instructions. Every fact will be broken down as we used to say in the Army, "by the numbers."

I don't think so.....
You don't think so about what, Daniel?
The electorate and states CAN ignore SCOTUS, but I doubt that they will (except the Red states which have)
You don't think that SCOTUS will bestow immunity on Trump?
I do, that is why they took the case, otherwise all they had to do is let the lower court ruling stand.
