Special: Is Trump Innocent or Guilty?

 

News Alert
The Supreme Court recently decided that presidents have immunity from prosecution for actions performed as "official acts" during their tenure, sparking intense debate. This 6-3 decision, which particularly pertains to former President Trump and his actions related to the January 6th events, was sent back to the lower courts for further analysis on whether these actions qualify as official.
 

Chief Justice John Roberts, representing the majority, argued that the constitutional structure necessitates presidential immunity to uphold the separation of powers. He stated that for core constitutional duties, this immunity is absolute, though it also extends in some form to all official actions.
 

In stark contrast, liberal justices like Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson expressed profound concerns. Justice Sotomayor emphasized the threat this broad immunity poses to democracy, suggesting it turns the president into a "king above the law." Justice Jackson highlighted the undermining of the rule of law and accountability, fearing a shift towards despotism.
 

The ruling not only impacts Trump but also implies that President Biden could potentially be immune for official acts during his presidency. This landmark decision has significant implications for presidential accountability and the limits of executive power.
