...wild, if true.

In any Democratic majority, this would be yet another basis for impeaching him, but we're in this weird functionally permissive period where the courts and the republican legislature have us suspended on this teeter totter between totalitarianism and democracy on our side by not ruling on major questions.

But to this abomination to democracy, the Roberts Court's maga majority looks to have given him so much of a sense of impunity, without clearly defining what they mean by constitutional duties and official acts which they say gives him immunity.

It's all the more convoluted because the conservative justices, alone, invented the immunity out of their own partisan heads without any regard to anything in the Constitution - against the document, in fact, and made it so vague that even using 'official acts' as PART of evidence of a crime is prohibited by the monarchical maga star chamber's ruling which was delayed until right before we voted, further delaying his trial by some 12 months after he was indicted.

It's no wonder that he's behaving like royalty, dandied-up and gallivanting around in the British king's palaces like an American monarch while his people struggle to afford groceries (a word he just discovered during the election, all by himself).
