This market is inspired by this NYTimes article (gift link), "In Immunity Case, Trump Can Lose in Ways That Amount to a Win".

The exact contours of the ruling will likely matter a lot. There's quite a few markets on how the court will split, but (as far as I can see) few on the nuances of how the ruling will draw the line.

Answer submissions to the market should be about the ruling itself, not how the court will split, when it will happen, the world's reaction, etc. Ideally they could be answered just from reading the majority opinion.

Opinion seems to avoid taking any actual concrete positions on whether the conduct was official or unofficial. It discusses various factors but is ultimately like "idk this is hard bro the lower courts should figure it out"

"Determining whose characterization may be correct, and with respect to which conduct, requires a close analysis of

the indictment’s extensive and interrelated allegations."

Thought this would be an interesting market format - prop bets specifically for the nuances of the ruling on Trump's SCOTUS immunity case. Add responses! I'll reimburse the creation costs of ones I think are good.
