It's not up on The Bulwark yet (I'm watching on YouTube), but I'm halfway thru George Explains it All... and you should watch it. Now let me say I don't buy George's take - which I think goes beyond optimism to denialism; but my heartrate went down a little just to hear someone explain a very different perspective.

I think George Conway is right. I listened to the oral arguments and listened to a lot of commentary, including Kim Wehle twice. I can't imagine where MJS got his take on the oral arguments. It's like he was listening to a different case. The ONLY benefit Trump is getting from this SCOTUS excursion is delay. When the ruling comes, it will reject Trump's claim of "total immunity", which is the only kind of immunity that could possibly save him in this case.
Trust me, I get it. It was nice to hear Sarah say something to the effect of, "Everyone's panicking!" b/c I thought, "So I'm not overreacting and I'm not alone in my reaction." On the other hand, it's scary that even legal experts seem to be pretty freaked out.
I haven't listened yet.But From what I heard from the analysis of the arguments, it appears quite likely that the SCOTUS will grant some small kind of immunity and send it back to the lower court to decide.

I can't wait. Right now I'm darker than JVL on his best days!(regarding the arguments at SCOTUS)
