 The Supreme Court has to write all of that is pretty obvious. OK, and the answer is because Sonia Sotomayor, in her true political fashion, has decided to just lie about what the majority opinion does. So she writes an absurd dissent, and this dissent becomes the basis for every Democratic talking point. Here is where things become perverse. I've spelled out to you how this decision works. The decision is actually quite mild. It suggests that core official authorities of the president of the United States are immune from criminal indictment.
