Only a selfish President would need the promise of immunity to make bold decisions on behalf of American citizens. The Supreme Court's argument that a President must be protected assumes that he doesn't have the countries best interest in mind. If there was every someone that needed to take one for the team - it's the highest elected official of the country.
That being said, nothing really is going to change. Nixon used the CIA to import drugs into inner cities to demonize an entire race - and nothing happened. The whole system is corrupt and has been for a long time.
