"abosolute' immunity demwit go read. No surprise the SCOTUS made that ruling given the extreme. The chief justice clearly stated president Trump has other options in the lower courts. Tissue?
The problem is that in law, you can't amend the pleadings in the record when they're appealed. You realize that Trump lost, and therefore appealed it from District Court, to Circuit Court and lost all the way. His appeal to the USSC was yet another loss, sending it back to the courts he already lost in.
Trump could of course start with new pleadings, but each court has the precedence of Trumps previous loses to go by.
