My parents had taught me, albeit unwittingly, that one didn't have to rise and respond to every perceived slight or unfair circumstance. - Ketanji Brown Jackson

I am acutely aware that, as a judge in our system, I have limited power, and I am trying in every case to stay in my lane.

The United States of America has a government of laws and not of men. The Constitution and federal law set the boundaries of what is acceptable conduct, and for this reason... when there is a dispute between the Legislature and the Executive branch over what the law requires about the circumstances under which government officials must act, the Judiciary has the authority, and the responsibility, to decide the issue.

And, of course, if present frequent occupants of the West Wing or Situation Room must find time to appear for testimony as a matter of law when Congress issues a subpoena, then any such immunity most certainly stops short of covering individuals who only purport to be cloaked with this authority because, at some point in the past, they once were in the President’s employ.
