The Supreme Court just did Biden a huge favor by giving Trump immunity - USA Today

Monday's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court to vastly expand the notion of presidential immunity was an incredibly beneficent favor for one of the men hoping to win your vote in November.

Just not the guy you're thinking of.

President Joe Biden desperately needed something to change the conversation after his calamitous performance in last Thursday's debate, which prompted a full three-day weekend of Democratic hand-wringing, with public and private debate about whether he should be swapped out for a more capable candidate.

What better way to interrupt that clamor than to have the court's conservative justices – the kind of folks who came of age thinking Richard Nixon got a raw deal – declare that former President Donald Trump might not have really broken the laws that we all saw him break, if he was acting as president at the time and not as a petulant narcissist who can't stomach being a loser.

Yo, Joe, send those justices a gift basket or something. You know Clarence Thomas isn't turning away free stuff.
