SCOTUS and Presidential immunity

I am having a hard time understanding the apoplectic reaction of the left regarding the SCOTUS decision on Presidential immunity.
Sotoamayor citing ridiculous examples of actions that would be immune in direct contradiction to the ruling that clearly states that a President is only immune for official acts as part of his job description as President.
This decision is, IMO, nothing more that the codification that a President enjoys the same qualified immunity as do most Law Enforcement agencies and lesser government officials throughout the country.
I would be very interested in hearing a dissenting opinion.
Well, one that has a basis in reality unlike that of associate justice Sonia.
Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

You have to remember, facts on NOT on their side. So when the facts and the LAW doesn't fit their narrative.......they turn to hysteria and emotions. Thats what the dumbocraps always do.
Just sayin'
Absolutely correct. Libtards never let facts get in the way of their hatred for America.

And their hatred for Trump
It's sad to hear some of the "reasoning " that comes from the liberal Justices. It's like listening to an 18 year old beauty pagent contestant
No mention of The Constitution or legal precident. How did they get through law school?
This decision stops the Democrats Lawfare in its tracks. No more Trump trials. The bedwetters were sure the orange demon would be in jail on election day.
I always figured it to be just like the military, you must follow LEGAL orders but you can't get in to trouble by not following the ILLEGAL ones
The court voted exactly correct. How ever they don’t vote, they interpret law. The ability of the president to act with in his authority has always been in place.
The descension from the left is simple. They embrace Marxism and are communist. They lie straight faced and don’t want anyone to question their decisions. They will do what ever it takes to dominate and stay in power.
What I find amusing is that they don't seem to realize that this ruling applies to all presidents, not just to Trump. Slick Willy, Barry Soetoro, and Joetato are all as equally protected as #45.
Neo, one cannot fix stupid.
Exactly. Obama had an American citizen executed in Yemen without a trial because he was suspected of being a terrorist. This is the example Sotomayer should have cited, but obviously it would not have fit with her leftist agenda driven decision making.

Sure would be entertaining tryin' to slap the silly out of it, though. Wouldn't it?
And soon biden.
