why, either SCOTUS cannot just come out with clarifying language regarding just what the immunity boundaries exist for a POTUS, or if they cannot come out and unilaterally do this, then perhaps via a petition to SCOTUS.
I am not saying they would definitely stop this fucking nightmare, but it would afford an opportunity to reset to reality, especially since they now realize just how their destructive ruling has turned out to be.

Those 6 justices, along with the likes of McConnell and Trump, will forever be held up as the face of this country's destruction. Plenty of others, I know, but these folks have to lead the parade.

With the knowledge that he would indeed be on the hook for the shit he is unleashing on this country, he may just back off. Accountability can stop a bully in his or her tracks.
