There it is. Nuff said. it's not political opinion, it's a ruling from SCOTUS.

What is worth noting, to me, was the rebuke.
SCOTUS actually refused to rule if Trump enjoys immunity for the alleged conduct. BECAUSE NO COURT HAS BOTHERED to address the issue. SCOTUS is FINAL review, not initial view.
By all of the lowered courts refusing to even LOOK at the immunity claim and determine whether Trump's actions were or were not official acts, the lower courts failed. And failed HARD. Every single one of them. They were so busy trying to get Trump, they refused to do their job and settle findings and establish the facts of the case.
Even if you are overturned, even if you KNOW the losing side is going to appeal, even if the defendant (or prosecutor - or both) is a complete and total ass who disgraces themselves and your courtroom. You still do your job.
MULTIPLE courts refused to do so.
I see this FAR less as a victory for Trump - SCOTUS made no rulings on whether his conduct was official and also made it VERY clear unofficial acts have zero immunity - than I see as a STERN rebuke for the lower courts.

I would also add that this decision is aimed at stopping all the stupidity that was heaped on Trump from being heaped on future Presidents.
I listen to Robert Barnes, a Constitutional Lawyer, once in a while. He had an explanation of the makeup of the Court that made me rethink the way I looked at it. According to his version, we have three groups on the Court, Conservative Justices, Moderate/Liberal Justices, and "Institutionalist". If you start looking at it like that, you start noticing that if there is a 6-3 decision involving Government overreach. it's the same three every time.

The swamp will still try to find a way around this. Anything to keep the swamp swampy.
