Hello and welcome to the political orphanage.

More specifically, hello and welcome to Judge Week 3.

Pardon my Scotus, wherein we review some of the most important

Supreme Court decisions that have occurred this term.

I'm your host, And today we are specifically going to tackle a Supreme Court ruling

which either saved the separation of powers or ruined

American democracy depending on which Supreme Court justice you're

currently sleeping with. The United States

versus Trump, aka the presidential immunity case. Let's first talk about what immunity is.

Let's first talk about what immunity is. Immunity is a shield you get from prosecution

for a particular function served. For example, legislative immunity. Members of Congress cannot be sued or prosecuted

for how they vote or what they say during a floor debate.

This is to ensure that members have full autonomy

to vote in the interests of their constituencies rather than

wondering whether or not they're going to get into legal trouble.

Similarly, judges and prosecutors have judicial immunity. You can't prosecute a judge for a decision they've made,

even if it's a really stupid decision. Nor can you prosecute a prosecutor for

being vindictive or selective in who they choose to prosecute.

You can potentially get an acquittal, but you can't take them to court for doing that job.

Their indictments can be acquitted. You can be acquitted from the prosecutor, but nobody

wants prosecutors worrying that if they take a swing at the mayor and miss, they're going to be sent to

prison.
