So, my understanding of this, on tentative research, is that they've declared Trump is immune to *some* things (if they can be considered official duties of the president) on the grounds that the president needs less restraint, so as to be able to respond to situations quickly.
What does this mean for the prosecution? Delays. Imo, this decision's biggest effect is that it makes things take a lot more time, as now there has to be additional decisions and hearings as to whether or not each specific action on Trump's behalf would fall under protection.

Not surprised by any of this, of course, I just figured I could save people some time looking things up.
But idk, saying the president is above the law in *any* capacity sounds like the next exciting turn in our rapid shift toward fascism to me, how about you?

This is your reminder that republicans aren't stupid. Republicans have an INSANE amount of resources at their disposal, far more than democrats do, and they would not be trying to push voter restrictions so hard if they did not see it as a threat.
