    They won’t come down on the side of presidential immunity because it would basically be saying “Biden senpai please assassinate me uwu”

    Just close your eyes and imagine Clarence Thomas saying this. He’s winking and throwing up a peace sign with one foot kicked up in the air. It makes no sense and he will never do this.

      They’ll decide against immunity, but after the election. If Biden wins, they won’t want him immune. If Trump wins, he won’t need immunity anymore.

        They’ll issue the opinion in mid-late June, maybe early July, when most SCOTUS decisions come out. The issue is that they will probably remand it to the lower courts for other decisions.
