Do you have a mole at the USSC? They are deciding on that argument as we type?

They will almost assuredly decide it based on the same limited immunity found everywhere else in government, which has NOTHING to do with this impeachment-removal theory.

Curious what makes you so sure.

They'll have to unwind a long series of precedents that aren't really litigated in order to come to a more politicized ruling.

Especially considering their willingness to hear the case?

It's a novel Constitutional issue because this specific scenario has never made it to the USSC with a President before. The closest was the Nixon civil immunity cases from the 70s. No criminal case involving a President has made it to SCOTUS for a confirmation (or unwinding) of precedent.
