well, they explained at length, but some key quotes may be:
“The parties before us do not dispute that a former President can be subject to criminal prosecution for unofficial acts committed while in office.”
“If the President claims authority to act but in fact exercises mere “individual will” and “authority without law,” the courts may say so.”
The ruling is absolutely clear: if the president subverts laws he is prosecutable.
This case was never about subversion of laws, though a lot of loudmouths claimed (and claim) otherwise.
