If they would that would mean impeachment, which is the current process for charging presidents would be voided. Any DA/state could indict a president and force a trial. This would blow up the way presidents are dealt with by Congress. Biden could be indicted by a red state DA right now and be forced to stand trial while in office .

Clearly someone hasn't read the actual Constitution

It sounds like they are going to make a distinction between private and official acts by the president.

Whether or not immunity exists isn’t the question. The limits of that immunity is what the Court has to parse out.

No it wouldn’t. Impeachment and legal proceedings have zero connection in any way. Neither has any relation whatsoever to the other.

This has to be in the bag of tricks. Democrats have opened that can of worms and they will never give it up. Even big blue city DAs can take a swipe at a R president in the future. Think Austin, Texas and well as Atlanta Georgia, Phoenix, Arizona.

This now will never end. It's last man/group standing.

I’m afraid if they give blanket immunity to Trump then Biden starts the wet work.

Impeachment is not a substitute for criminal prosecution. They are two
separate things for separate purposes.

SCOTUS will issue a ruling that ensures there will be no trial before the election. They delayed the case in
The manner they took it up. I once admired the Court. Now, they really are just politicians in robes. Alito is an. Embarrassment. Gorsuch is a fraud.
