How on earth is that going to make the orders lawful?

Do you think immunity is for lawful things? Why on earth are you arguing that unlawful acts are not covered by immunity? What exactly do you think immunity makes someone immune from?

Sedition isn't lawful and it's what the immunity decision addressed.

And that wasn't anywhere near the amount of deference the president gets when it comes to emergency and war powers.

On the receiving end, giving cover and benefit of a doubt.

The chain of command may or may not signal (similarly to the Supreme Court) what kind of fig leaf lies are required.

From there it’s a game of telephone until a barrel of a gun.
