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."
