    Its not absolute immunity. Its presumed immunity for official acts. Its literally the same rules as always. He can still go to jail if they can prove it.

    It was basically the supreme court saying “we aint touching this, you figure it out”

      It’s absolute immunity for “core constitutional acts” and presumed immunity for every other official act.

      The ruling also said trump can appeal rulings on if specific acts receive immunity, so they can overturn a ruling they don’t like.
