Supreme Court Ruling Expands Presidential Immunity

News summary

The U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling grants former presidents broad immunity from prosecution for official acts, significantly impacting the criminal case against Donald Trump for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election. The ruling has sparked a partisan divide, with Republicans praising it as a victory for constitutional separation of powers, while Democrats, including President Biden, criticize it as a dangerous precedent that undermines the rule of law. The decision means that the case against Trump will be remanded to a lower court to determine which actions are considered official and thus immune from prosecution. This delay likely pushes any potential trial beyond the November election, affecting voters' ability to make an informed decision. The ruling has also raised concerns about the erosion of checks and balances in American democracy.
