The current SCOTUS is making it very difficult for American constitutional law professors to argue that there is any coherent philosophy of legal interpretation guiding the actions of half the court other than pure partisan opportunism.
Justice Alito suggests that, if former presidents are subject to prosecution after leaving office, they'll be more likely to seek to unlawfully remain in office after they were defeated for re-election/their term has ended.
