Supreme Court says Trump has absolute immunity for core acts only

In a historic, consequential, and controversial decision on Monday,
the Supreme Court granted substantial immunity from prosecution to
former president Donald Trump on election subversion charges.

The decision almost certainly will delay his trial until after the
November election, if it takes place at all. The vote was 6-to-3, with
the court's Republican appointees all in the majority, and the
Democratic appointees in fierce dissent

Such immunity is needed, said the chief justice, in order to protect
an "energetic," and "independent executive," willing to take "bold"
actions and make unpopular decisions when needed. And while Roberts
said that private actions by a former president are not protected from
prosecution, his opinion seemed to inexorably intertwine private and
public actions.

The court, however, did not itself resolve whether any of the election
subversion charges against Trump could go forward; rather, the
justices sent the case back to the trial court judge to determine
whether any of the charges against Trump are sufficiently private to
survive--in other words, not within his official purview as president.
And it made it far more difficult to prosecute a former president by
limiting the evidence a prosecutor could present.

Stuart Gerson, a Republican who served in high-level Justice
Department positions, put the effect of Monday's ruling this way: "It
is impossible that this case will be resolved, if ever, before the
election."

In short, he said, Trump got what he wanted: delay
