Today's ruling is that the J6 case is back on. The case has been "remanded back to district court.". So after a several month delay this case is moving forward in Judge Chutkan's court.
It is remanded for further proceedings consistent with the decision by the Supreme Court. This wasn't just a delay. Any further proceedings need to respect the immunity for acts within the president's constitutional authority.
But the news of today isn't that The Supreme Court ruled on immunity. We knew that. We knew that a month ago.
The big news is not that Trump is getting a couple of grand in court costs.
The big news is this case has been on pause since December, but now it going to back in a big way in the heat of the presidential race.
They are going to start arguing over which part of the indictment involves official acts so the Jan 6 indictment is going to be part of the news cycle again.
This is not the big story of what just happened.

Unless the case is dropped because its now moot. Or the law-fair show will continue and more people will wake people up. Either way its a win.

That's my point, the case is not dropped.
The Supreme Court did not completely throw out this case, but the language of this post makes this seem big.
The big news happened a month ago. That was a win.
Today's news means next week we will see a lot more about this case.
