Yeah people have been quick to point out that the Supreme Court has just given the OK to let the President do a whole bunch of terrible shit. If people were scared of Biden being corrupt, they should be shitting their pants now.
At the same time, US presidents are never held accountable. Not for their crimes, not for their war crimes, not for illegal spying, for nothing. Biden wasn't going to be held accountable regardless, nor any other US president - except for Trump who is held 'accountable' for non-crimes.
So I think this is a bad decision in theory (because presidents should be subject to prosecution), but good in practice.
