The US Supreme Court's 'Fork in the Road' --

The Maga-majority justices will probably do everything possible to delay the 'absolute immunity' decision until after November... so that if Djt would win 2024 election, they'll push hard for broader immunity.
If (hopefully) Biden would win, I've got a strong hunch that the USSC will not approve of broad immunity.

It's not hyperbolic to say this SC decision could set the stage for an absolute dictatorship.

for a strong authority white male, but only as a figurehead. They will ultimately run the show, as soon as they remove certain non exclusive members. Trump may not be completely malleable so he won’t have the position for long.
