    “When the president does it, it is not illegal”

    This has been a long time coming and the presumption is that he is allowed to until that is somehow challenged.

      Again, incorrect. Stop reading headlines and making decisions. Read the ruling. You are spreading misinformation.

        Oo, nice try turning this around on them. But nah, man, you’re refusing to acknowledge the ruling itself explicitly telling you you’re wrong. You’re not arguing in good faith. Go away.

        Direct from the decision (page 31):

        If official conduct for which the President is immune may be scrutinized to help secure his conviction, even on charges that purport to be based only on his unofficial conduct, the “intended effect” of immunity would be defeated.
