So now it is legal for Biden to go after Trump if it is within his presidential duties. The upreme Court has ruled that the president has immunity. This is the end of democracy. This shows that the right wing doesn't give a damn about the constitution. Here we see an activist right wing court giving Trump coverfir his crimes. This is another sorry day for America.
Supreme Court provides win to Trump, ruling he has immunity for some acts in election interference indictment
The legal question on whether a former president has immunity from prosecution for official acts had never come before the court.
The Supreme Court on Monday raised the bar for prosecuting Donald Trump, ruling that he has immunity for some of his conduct as president in his federal election interference case, but maybe not for other actions, adding another obstacle for special counsel Jack Smith taking the case to trial.
In a novel and potentially consequential case on the limits of presidential power, the justices voted 6-3 along ideological lines to reject Trump’s broad claim of immunity, meaning the charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results will not be dismissed, but said some actions closely related to his core duties as president are off-limits to prosecutors.
