The ruling was that the president is immune from criminal punishment over offical acts not that the president can pass any laws they want.
Arguably, passing a law without congress would be an unofficial act and breaking the law.
At that point, he could be impeached, and after impeachment, charged with a crime related to the impeachment.
Who determines whether it's an unofficial act? The same judges with the same fascist bias?
