The Supreme Court rewrites Watergate history: 50 years since Nixon's resignation, immunity decision would have undone prosecutions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

34% : We can look to our past history and present circumstances to know that this decision will empower a convicted felon like Trump, should he be elected this November, to do whatever he wants, including violating criminal law, to seek retribution against his perceived enemies.
27% : As to Trump, Roberts held that "the president cannot be prosecuted for conduct within his exclusive constitutional authority.
27% : Trump is therefore absolutely immune from prosecution for the alleged conduct involving his discussions with Justice Department officials.
25% : Even though Nixon likely would have been indicted for serious federal crimes but for his pardon, no other president, except for Trump, has been criminally prosecuted, never mind already been convicted on 34 felonies.
25% : For the Supreme Court to carve out a special extra-legal status to protect Trump, already proven to be a serial fraudster who may regain the presidency, is beyond outrageous.
22% : Trump has already proclaimed he will suspend the U.S. Constitution and promised to be a dictator on day one.
