At this point in history, I don't see any way that SCOTUS weighing in on this is going to be beneficial.
So hard to say if they will
-
Rule that only trump has absolute immunity
-
Rule that all presidents have absolute immunity
-
Rule that trump had absolute immunity, but no other president has it starting…now!
Personally I would expect 2 or 3. Most likely 3, so they can appeal to sensibilities and say they plugged up the executive power loophole until an act of Congress modifies the constitution thusly.
"This decision does not set a precedent."

idk, they rejected every attempt Trump made to overturn the election. he thinks he owns them because he appointed them, but right now they have all the power and he has neither a carrot nor a stick to show them.
The truth is if Trump becomes dictator the SCOTUS is dead. Not even the worst of them want to lessen their grip on power.
