Seems like giving a president blanket immunity would be creating a new law,
Which is not the job of the courts.

First of all, it’s not blanket immunity. It’s immunity for official acts as president.

And it would follow what has been done with federal judges. And it would be limited to laws that don’t specify the president.

Where did anyone suggest a President should have blanket immunity? But if a President orders the bombing that kills an innocent person, should they face murder charges?

We have a way to impeach the President if they break the law...remember Nixon

The office of president requires a person to make decisions not everyone in the country should be allowed to make. This requires a level of immunity from prosecution for making those decisions.

The avenue for punishing the president is the impeachment process in Congress.

This is the gaslighting that kept getting repeated.

Impeachment is the gateway to criminal prosecution. So there is no such thing as blanket immunity. It’s just saying Congress has to agree before a DA can go after a POTUS

So you are fine if we start trying the presidents still alive?

According to you we already should have. Since there is no law against it and this would create a new law.
