Maybe not...BUT the court was obligated to have an evidentiary hearing to determine that BEFORE proceeding to trial. They didn't. The court allowed testimony and evidence in that IS covered by immunity despite the objections of Trump's attorneys that it was immune. Read the SCOTUS decision.

And EVERYTIME you ask a trump supporter why they feel this way it’s always “look at gas prices, look at the border, he only was tried because he is running for president” yeah that’s what happens, when you run to be the most powerful man in the country, and your enemies find REAL crimes that you committed, of course they are going to prosecute…. that’s like saying “you are going after me cause i’m the leader of the cartel, what about all the people selling the drugs and shooting eachother up over the corners?? like no you’ve proven to be much more dangerous to our country than lowly drug dealers

NOT retroactive. The Supreme Court ruled that Presidential immunity is covered by the Constitution ratified in 1791. The Supreme Court doesn't make or change laws. It just interprets what IS. That Merchan IGNORED the constitution and Trump's multiple motions to exclude immune evidence and testimony does not make anything "retroactive." It was Merchan's error. In his rush, he ruined the whole case. Read the SC ruling carefully.
