Jurisprudence hygiene is a clarion invokement for sanitizing a legal issue adjudicated in a court of law.

A court of law is thresholded to exercise stringent restraint in ensuring the indecorum of politicization does not defect a ruling in a tribunal that must uphold equity.

Political matters are the rights accorded to the demos in a democratic dispensation: if a court arbited on a political bandwidth, that would be an abuse of power, as mob rule, would supplant the authority of sovereignty bestowed to the elective franchise

Trump’s absolute immunity case, is patently set to concoct a novel precedent for future heads of state regarding the weight of criminal prosecution on the executive.

The precedence, I surmise (in brevity), will be accorded: a president will be safeguarded with absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, if their executed deed aligns with the faithful execution of their Article II powers barring malice.

If the court’s ruling is on the cornerstone of the aforementioned, Trump’s criminal trials will not cease, but proceed: An incited insurrection for discontentment with an electoral outcome, is outside the perimeter of a president’s official duties, and by extension—a conduct of impropriety for the highest office of the land.
