Not in those words, but the decision did give absolute immunity from criminal prosecution and civil damage suits for all core official acts and presumptive immunity for all acts "performed within the outer perimiter of his official responsibility". It also severely restricted the ability to gather evidence for acts that do not fall within this scope. This is extremely broad, and not unreasonable to summarize as the president being able to do whatever they want without fear of criminal/civil consequences. Suggesting that everyone should read the 120 page, highly technical decision and come to their own conclusions is not helpful. | ||
