It's really not that crazy. SCOTUS didn't really have much ability to do anything in these cases since most of them didn't seek damages but instead sought prospective relief, which basically means preventing Trump from using his position to repeat this act or similar this in the future. And since Trump is not president anymore there is no real danger of this being the case.

However there is still the possibility that he could be sued for damages retroactively although this is its own can of worms.
