It sounds like they are going to make a distinction between private and official acts by the president.
Correct. Which I previously believed was common sense, seeing as that distinction is present in every other type of legal immunity for public employees/officials in the entire body of law of the United States.
The issue has always been whether whatever actions Smith is relying on are within POTUS’s official duties.

Yes, and it didn’t require the Supreme Court to figure this out. However, Trump’s team has taken the position that the office confers absolute immunity to do anything at all, the true reproduction of king. No thinking person ever bought what Trump has tried to sell here. If Trump gets a single vote for this bonkers argument, shame on that Justice.
