Bullshit. SCOTUS ruled the President has broad immunity from legal jeopardy. The President is no longer a simple Citizen of the United States of America but a sovereign entity free from the confines of Law. This precept is not stated in the Constitution. It may, or may not be a current former President that capitalizes on this ruling, but this Executive legal position will occur sometime in the future. The Decline of the Great American Experiment has been written into law. The decline of the Republic of America is now imagined and conjured out of thin air. The Founders of the Republic of the United States could not have imagined such a position; the current SCOTUS has provided the legal steps to reach such conclusion. A Slave state will remain a Slave State. Originalists have codified their position that will lead to the decline of the United States of America, the worlds last great hope for a free and just world for humanity. The Path to Save our Freedom has been narrowed to a razors edge. Lincoln would be dismayed. We do not have a fierce warrior for democracy such as Washington to save our Republic.
This isn't about the President, or that ruling. It's about overturning Chevron, reducing the power of federal agencies to decide how to apply their laws.
It's still bullshit. It's just different bullshit from the bullshit you're talking about.

It isn't enough to examine 'what' this Court rules. Examining the 'why' will often be more instructive.
Agreed. When you look at the Court's rulings in aggregate—including the ones that don't make headlines because they're not controversial—it's clear that they have a very specific agenda: they want the branches of government to go back to doing what every civics class claims they do.
For this Court, the Legislative branch is meant to write laws, the Executive branch is meant to enforce them, and the Judicial branch is meant to interpret them. They've very consistently rolled back cases where the Judicial or Executive overstepped and started writing laws on their own.
So as for the why: they really seem to sincerely believe that government will work better when the branches stay in their lanes.

You know, that sounds great and comforting. But the Republican majority house managed something like 19 bills last year. Combined with a decades long trend of giving up power (1941 was the last declaration of war) I'm not sure what you're saying is anything more than comforting fairy tales
