Live updates: Supreme Court rules Trump has some immunity in his federal election interference case, further delaying trial ( www.nbcnews.com )

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, rejected Trump's broad immunity claims and said that Trump only has immunity for his "official" acts as president. The high court did not determine what constitutes an official act in this case, leaving that to the lower court.

The court's liberal justices issued blistering dissents of the majority opinion. In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the ruling "breaks new and dangerous ground."

As Americans we seem to be sleepwalking into a dictatorship. I know that we will eventually wake up, my only fear is that when we finally wake up we will be in a third Trump term, knee deep in authoritarianism. We need to stand behind Biden no matter what. So what he had a bad debate? Republicans are standing behind a convicted felon, rapist, and liar.

Here's my take: We have to stand by Biden at all costs. Obama had a really bad debate before he was re-elected as well. If this is a popularity contest, who would replace him? There is no one that could stand against Trump at this point and the R's know this. That's why every publication (spoiler, most of them) is saying how awful the debate was over and over, they need someone else to go against trump.
