THIS WEEK: SCOTUS decision makes Trump immune from prosecution in federal election case
John, earlier this week the Supreme Court sided with President Trump, ruling that presidents cannot be held criminally liable for official actions of the government.
In other words, the Court just handed Trump, and future presidents, a get out of jail free card.
Now, the president can claim immunity for “official acts” and get off scot-free. Justice Sonia Sotomayor best laid out the stakes in her dissent:
With the chances of a second Trump term a real possibility, and an unhinged Supreme Court ready and willing to enable his egregious behavior, it’s never been more important to have elect democracy defenders who will uphold the rule of law.
