Immune from criminal prosecution*

The state AGs can and will still challenge any and all such executive orders.

But if Biden hypothetically were to kidnap, beat, or murder supreme court justices or political opponents, then that's another story.

Yep, EO's are still subjected to judicial reviews.

This ruling doesn't let Biden write new laws. But, he could put out an EO and then use force to enforce it. He could put one out, that then gets overruled, then he could just claim that the justice department was wrong.

This is so fucking stupid

A brilliant kind of stupidity, though. They know this won't hold up, they're just trying to buy time so Trump doesn't spend part of his campaign behind bars.
