The VP has already stated that they'll disregard court rulings. So yeah, courts are going to be useless.

SCOTUS has already said POTUS is immune. Anyone else not covered by that immunity would be potentially pardoned. After they are pardoned, they are free to go back to doing exactly what they were doing before. They become untouchable.

SCOTUS really screwed the public with that immunity ruling
