@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @volkris @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @Hyolobrika if you think Trump's prosecutions are unfounded and malicious, this decision will prevent similar prosecutions of ex-presidents, but it certainly won't prevent unfounded or malicious prosecutions of anyone else. 1/

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @volkris @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @Hyolobrika (actually, it won't even prevent unfounded or malicious prosecutions of ex-presidents based on ginned up allegations about pre- or post-Presidential unofficial acts! so if you really think weaponized prosecution of political rivals is the problem — which John Roberts plainly does! — this decision narrows the target but increases the range!) 2/
