If President Clinton was facing charges and was claiming presidential immunity, I'm pretty certain that these same "conservative" justices would have an entirely different opinion of the scope of immunity.

Pretty sure that the founding fathers would be spinning in their graves over this one. They did not mean to create a king. Aren't these the assholes that are supposed to believe in the founders' original intent?
