In the Supreme Court decision about immunity, who really won? The answer is obvious: the doctrine of separation of powers.

The high court's common sense holding simply extended the same legal protection to presidents that is already enjoyed by legislators and jurists.It's well settled in law that those in the judicial and legislative branches have significant immunity from lawsuits or prosecutions based on their official actions.

This result makes sense to most legal scholars who aren't wearing a red or blue jersey underneath their natty political TV show attire.The court ruled that, when any president acts within his official authority, 'Congress cannot act on, and courts cannot examine, the President's actions.' Biden should cheer this ruling because, when he leaves office, he will enjoy the same protection from legal actions taken against his many breaches of the Constitution.
