    Yeah, I think it is essentially over. He successfully ran out the clock already. By the time the Supreme Court hears the immunity appeal he will already be the nominee, and it is extremely unlikely they will haul him into court after that due to the optics of interfering with the election.

    The scarier scenario is the Supreme Court silently waits to see if he wins, and then the conservative justices rule in his favor that he has absolute immunity if he does win. That would essentially be the end of democracy in this country.
