Subject: Re: SCOTUS avoids ‘key question’ of Trump immunity
Thank you for the thought-provoking responses.

Truman thought he had authority, and so criminal immunity was not required for Truman's decision to seize the steel mills. There was no criminal intent. There are often different interpretations of laws. Acting under a mistaken good-faith interpretation of the law is not a crime for government officials.

"Truman was stunned by the decision, but he immediately restored control of the steel mills to their owners."

"Truman himself was shocked by his Supreme Court smackdown, in part because he thought his arguments were sound."
