"Unfortunately, it does open up presidents to politically motivated persecution after they have left office, which could have a chilling effect on what they do while in office. SCOTUS will need to be very careful on how they resolve that problem."
Definitely a "be careful what you wish for" scenario.
Well given the horrible actions of most presidents, both in terms of things like war crimes, essentially war on our own country (anything like Fed, New Deal, drug war, Patriot Act, 9/11, Covid/vax), etc, as well as likely horrible things like Epstein Island, child rape, etc, it's probably time we set a pretty high standard....
HOPEFULLY by the end of all this we get rid of the fake 2-party bullshit that fuels division and would certainly fuel lawfare as described....
