July-caught up with Sampler BOM

My husband receives the WSJ and I read the lifestyle segment. Once in a while I read the Editorial.

Wall Street Journal-
“Sometimes we have to marvel at the cognitive dissonance of our progressive friends. They shout with alarm that the Supreme Court’s decision this week on presidential immunity has removed all legal restraints on a future Trump Presidency. Then they lambaste the Court for curbing the power of the executive branch. Who’s on first?
President Biden’s re-election strategy boils down to persuading Americans that Donald Trump poses a threat to democracy. After the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision on Monday, Mr. Biden warned in a speech that “any President, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law.”
The High Court issued “a fundamentally new principle, and it’s a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States,” Mr. Biden averred. “The only limits will be self-imposed by the President alone.
None of this is true.
The Justices ruled in Trump v. U.S. that a President enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his core constitutional duties, and presumptive immunity for other official acts. But they also stressed that a President isn’t shielded from prosecution for private actions. So Mr. Trump wouldn’t be free to shoot someone on Fifth Avenue.
The Court merely extended its Nixon v. Fitzgerald (1982) precedent, which shielded a President from civil liability for official acts in order to “protect against the chilling effect such exposure might have on the carrying out of his responsibilities,” as Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. This will protect every President from partisan prosecutors, including Mr. Biden.
“Virtually every President is criticized for insufficiently enforcing some aspect of federal law (such as drug, gun, immigration, or environmental laws),” the Chief writes. “An enterprising prosecutor in a new administration may assert that a previous President violated that broad [obstruction] statute. Without immunity, such types of prosecutions of ex-Presidents could quickly become routine.”
The Court’s ruling will prevent a future Trump Justice Department from seeking retribution against Mr. Biden by prosecuting him for, say, obstructing immigration enforcement or forgiving student debt.“

I notice people almost in despair after the ruling. I hope this explanation helps one to understand the ruling.
