But like, how exactly? They have already ruled that the President has blanket immunity for all actions taken in his official capacity. As historian and anti-totalitarian Timothy Snyder says, the first rule of resistance is Do Not Obey in Advance. Biden should fearlessly exercise his new near-total immunity, to take any and all actions that will protect the rights, laws, people, and environment we hold dear, in ways that it would be hard for the Trumpists to undo. He has the presidential pardon power. Great! He should issue a blanket pardon for all the Dreamers, so that they can never be charged with illegally entering the country. That's the only one I can think of right now, but there must be other powers he could exercise in very useful ways. He definitely should *not* be worrying about whether the Supreme Court will come after him on some specious grounds. That would constitute Biden obeying in advance. Don't do it.
As I understand it, the SC reserved the right to pass on all presidential actions so Joe has no carte blanche. If anybody knows different, scream it from the rooftops
