It's interesting to see the differentiation between "the president as president" and "the president as citizen", and good to know that there's at least some level of not being able to use presidential authority to influence personal court cases, at least in theory.

Yeah, and the Court even acknowledged in the NY case that it's a difficult distinction to draw.
