    Jump on what? The president wasn’t granted immunity.

    The SCOTUS passed the buck to lower courts, and those courts could draw the line at whether or not Biden’s actions qualify as official or not.

    Or it could end up back at the SCOTUS, where we would have to trust (lol) that they reach the same opinion they did for Biden as they did for Trump.

      Yes they did, absolute immunity for powers given in the constitution and presumptive immunity for all official acts.

      They sent Trumps issue back to the lower courts to make a ruiling based on their clarifications.
