Guilty AF

I guess my question has to do with Ex Post Facto. Is Trump "covered" by the SCOTUS Immunity Decision for actions he took before the decision was handed down?

On July 1, 2024, the Court ruled in a 6–3 decision that presidents have absolute immunity for acts committed as president within their core constitutional purview, at least presumptive immunity for official acts within the outer perimeter of their official responsibility, and no immunity for unofficial acts.

Unfortunately, I think the default on that one is "yes".

So we'll be heading back to SmarmSpace® to argue it out all over again - ie: when Trump incited the Jan6 mob, was he acting as President Trump, or as Candidate Trump?
