You're the ones who are claiming this bill, that Democrats didn't even pass, gave Republicans everything they wanted.
It's incumbent on you to make the case.

The bill was literally crafted by Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma.
Mitch McConnell was backing it.
Everything they wanted? No. A lot of it? Yep. So Republicans CHOSE the status quo and then you blame Dems.
And the House can't even pass a Border Bill right now. www.axios.com
Any other idiotic things you want to say?
People are way over-reacting.
The issue of immunity from the Court of Appeals decision wasn't exactly helpful. It just essentially found presidents don't have absolute immunity for their acts.
The Supreme Court seems to be delving more into whether it was an Official Act or a Personal Act and how far Immunity extends to protect a future ex-president from potential political prosecution. January 6 is likely to be found a Personal Act that Trump has no immunity for.
The main takeaway should be that the Supreme Court is trying to find a rule for the future that both protects existing immunity but doesn't overstep in providing total immunity. And that hasn't been done yet by the district court or court of appeals. It's frankly a complicated mess because differentiating between Official and Personal Acts is almost impossible in some areas.
Likely outcome: Some immunity but not total and Trump can still be tried for much or all of January 6.
