@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @volkris @Hyolobrika OK. Here's the key stuff:

"the Executive Branch has 'exclusive authority and absolute discretion' to decide which crimes to investigate and *prosecute*...Investigative and *prosecutorial* decisionmaking is “the special province of the Executive Branch,”…and the Constitution vests the entirety of the executive power in the President, Art. II, §1… *For that reason,*…" 1/

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @volkris @Hyolobrika "Trump’s threatened removal of the Acting Attorney General likewise implicates “conclusive and preclusive” Presidential authority."

The emphasis (the *xxx* signalling italics) is mine. 2/

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @volkris @Hyolobrika Note this does not refer merely to discussions. It refers specifically to prosecutions and prosecutorial decisionmaking. The President can decide who to prosecute. The Constitution, Roberts claims, vests all decisionmaking power surrounding prosecutorial choices in the President, as a "special province". *For that reason* it falls within the "'conclusive and preclusive' Presidential authority" + commands absolute immunity. 3/

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @volkris @Hyolobrika This is one of the key logical themes of the entire decision: Some Executive authorities are deemed to be shared with Congress, but others to be solely the province of the Executive, personified by the President. Where they read Constitutional authority not to be shared, Congress — the maker of laws — cannot regulate Him. *Not* providing immunity in this sphere, subjecting the President to Congress' laws… 4/

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @volkris @Hyolobrika would violate the Constitution's "separation of power" principle, in the Court majority's view. The President has "absolute immunity" in these domains because acts of Congress or the Courts — laws and the infrastructure of their enforcement — simply have no power to reach this "special province", this "conclusive and preclusive' Presidential authority". 5/

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @volkris @Hyolobrika And prosecutorial decisions, not just discussions, not just personnel decisions, are proclaimed to be within this domain. Congress and its laws have no authority to regulate whom the President chooses to prosecute, says the majority, so of course Congress' laws can have no authority here. 6/

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @volkris @Hyolobrika The domain of prosecutorial decisionmaking, the decision very clearly proclaims, is within the sphere of absolute Presidential immunity that the decision here and elsewhere defines. /fin
