    Thank you for the level-headed response. This is pretty much inline with what I’ve been reading.

    Seems to me that this was not that consequential of a case. It was mostly just a confirmation of what we’ve already presumed. The larger issue that’s been pending since the 2020 election is if what he did was an official act.

    I look forward to a decision about whether asking someone to find some extra votes is considered an official act.

      This is an incredibly consequential case making entirely new law that is conveniently on a case by case basis and under the control of a corrupt court. Just read the dissents. And it overruled a unanimous ruling that Trump was not immune. Trying to downplay this is wrong.
