This wasn't even a problem before the last 4 years, and the only times it were - was when the suspecting president agreed they broke the law and stepped down, or got impeached.

We have monarchy after monarchy to show that sovereign immunity builds toxic ontological relationships between participants of a political system, and often invites tyranny. Your suspicions, for 238 years straight, have been amiss.

This hasn't been a problem for 250 years, and it's still not a problem anyone has.

This ruling serves one specific purpose: to protect one single person from the consequences of their crimes.

We are in agreement.
