The discretion of official duty is left up to the trails court, not the supreme court. It’s literally in the ruling.

The president has always had immunity. This changes nothing.

If I order someone to be murdered in another country I can be prosecuted. If the president does it they cannot be prosecuted (if, obviously, it was for the protection of the United States). There is your example. SCOTUS didn’t give the president anything. The president already had it. Because SCOTUS doesn’t make law.

Have a nice day / night.

Absolutely not. You’re insane, you wouldn’t consider anything I’d say.

That’s because your fantastical scenario is exactly that, fantasy. You do not understand whatsoever the implications of the ruling because you cannot grasp the duty of the president, checks and balances, and the rule of law. Did they stop teaching civics in school?7

Because they are protecting our republic. A president shouldn’t fear being prosecuted by someone for their official acts when they are out of office, such as a political rival.

And no, something illegal cannot be official.

The best example is first responders. They have immunity doing their duty. They cannot hesitate to perform their duty - such as giving life saving services - if they fear they are unsuccessful and are sued / thrown in prison. If they break the law though on duty it was never their duty to break the law and are therefore not immune. Take CPR. They might perform CPR and injure the person they are working over, or they might not save them. The family of that person cannot sue them, nor can a court convict them if they accidentally make things worse.

Same thing with the president. The president can’t break the law and say, “whoops, just doing my official duty”. It doesn’t work like that.

Is Saddam Hussein in the room with us now?

No, again, you’ve misunderstood. Breaking the law is not within the duties of the president.

That’s extremely doubtful, as Trump was never convicted for something that would label him as an enemy of the United States.

Nope. That is not within the duties of the president. Declaring something official doesn’t make it official.

It is a fundamental misunderstanding and mistake to believe that people don’t vote the way you want them too is because they are less intelligent than you.

The understanding of what is and isn’t an official act is severely lacking. An official act is within the duties of the president. The president can’t break the law and claim it was an official duty, lol.

You assumed wrong, as the supreme court said the trails court will determine what is and isn’t an official act. What’s the problem?

First responders get immunity while they are doing their duty. Judges do too. What exactly is the problem? Breaking the law CANNOT be an official act.

First responders have (in some counties had) immunity while doing their job. If grandma needs CPR you don’t want a first responder to hesitate to provide that CPR because they might crack a rib and get sued, or worse, thrown in jail.

The president should not be afraid to make decisions in fear of political retaliation, which is exactly what this ruling clarifys.

If the first responder breaks the law they are held accountable. If the president breaks the law they will be held accountable.

This doesn’t mean the president can do whatever they want and they are immune from the law. That’s ridiculous. The ruling even states that.

Is that because I don’t vote the way you want me to?

Ah, I’m sure the party you like has the solution. How dare anyone vote in a way you don’t approve of.

I’ve always thought people of all races were people and share the rights as all other human beings. Weird, innit?

Hell yeah my candidate isn’t fascist, YOUR candidate is fascist!

I have several friends in France. Immigration is a big part of why they are voting conservative.
