The cops told the students they couldn’t be on the sidewalk, so the students moved to the grass. Then the cops physically PUSHED the students from the grass to the sidewalk, then arrested them.

The bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS judges don’t want to give COMPLETE immunity, because that would apply to Biden as well. They just want to say Trump has immunity for political acts, then kick it back to Chutkan to decide.

If we can’t tell the difference, why are we arming one side to commit war crimes against the other?
