“Don’t Overread the Court’s Immunity Opinion”

ELB readers might be interested in this Lawfare analysis. Its subheading: “Chief Justice Roberts gives neither Trump nor any future president a green light to tyranny, as some initial reactions to his opinion fear.”

Its opening paragraph:

The Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity, Trump v. United States, is not nearly as dire as many commentators have exclaimed. I wouldn’t have written the opinion that Chief Justice John Roberts did. But it does not make the president a king, and it does not give the president a license to act lawlessly.
