"We hold that the petitioner, as a former President of the United States, is entitled to absolute immunity from damages liability predicated on his official acts."

Specifically, immunity from civil damages. The president couldn't be sued by randos claiming he cost them a job or whatever.

This is a new class of fascism. Keep on trollin'.

The president has always enjoyed immunity for performing official duties. Obviously.

That's true other than it's absolutely not.

No? Can the president be charged with murder for telling the military to drone strike someone? No they cannot, because they are immune. They have to have some immunity in order to execute their duties.
