It doesn’t only crumble for the president of the United States. That’s not what happened.

In fact, a whole lot of people are pissed off that that’s not what happened.

The Supreme Court didn’t judge Trump. That’s not its role in the system. That’s for lower courts. Instead, the Supreme Court issued an opinion that applies to everybody, with a general rule that really applies to officers in general.

The Supreme Court said that the the executive branch may not prosecute anybody for carrying out their legal duties as per law. No matter the mess that might exist out there, the president cannot, effectively, harass people for doing what is legal.

That’s the long and short of it.

It was basically saying that no matter what mess the criminal statutes may be, the president may not harass people for doing legal things.

I remember hearing all of the criticisms of the court after oral argument when people were pulling their hair out that justices weren’t laser focused on getting Trump. But they weren’t because that’s not their job.

So you say you don’t know why it would crumble only for the president, and that’s not the case, it doesn’t, the Supreme Court laid out a general rule regardless of the people complaining that it was looking to lay out a general rule.

And regardless of the dissenters who often seem completely oblivious of what the Supreme Court is supposed to do in the first place.
