Transcripts are posted after rulings.

Or you could just read one of the many, many, many articles quoting her dissent.

Or watch a video quoting her.

You’re absolutely correct. This is the part that has been left out of every news article I’ve read, and is undoubtedly the most concerning:

And some Presidential conduct-for example, speaking to and on behalf of the American people, see Trump v. Hawaii, 585 U. S. 667, 701 (2018) - certainly can qualify as official even when not obviously connected to a particular constitutional or statutory provision. For those reasons, the immunity we have recognized extends to the "outer perimeter" of the President's official responsibilities, covering actions so long as they are "not manifestly or palpably beyond [his] authority."

So it’s not just acts committed by the President, but also ordered by the President.

It’s also vague enough that charges can get bounced around lower courts indefinitely.

Thank you again for the link. I didn’t see it when I first searched.

Yup! It will be the 5th circuit almost certainly. It's the Republican rubber stamp circuit...

You could at least make it easy and post a link to the pdf

Like you read it regardless.

Not all of it, obviously. But if you want someone else to, you should consider not making them search through a different website to try to find it.

It's on the landing page, in the third "recent rulings" that helpfully even has Trump in the name, but go on.

The standard for citations has been established a long time and there’s no good reason to change it.

Lol

Oh that’s right you have no idea what I’m referring to. My bad.

I can understand how a person with no ability to articulate things wouldn’t grok or appreciate good citation design.

Ooh wait here we go:

LoL

Said the guy "groking" things
