That’s just been enabled by the Supreme Court, which put off until April the legal case wherein Trump declares himself immune to criminal prosecution. We speak with Vox Court-watcher Ian Millhiser, who says he tries to reserve his “this is an exceptionally alarming decision” voice, but this occasion calls for it.

We talk with him about the space the group seeks to fill.
