  • Chief Justice John Roberts is reportedly shaken by the negative public response to the Supreme Court's decision granting former President Trump substantial immunity.
  • Roberts's ruling has been criticized for potentially creating new constitutional interpretations that protect presidents from prosecution for official acts.
  • The decision has sparked debate over the separation of powers and the extent of presidential immunity, with critics arguing it undermines accountability.
  • Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a strong dissent, arguing that the ruling effectively places former presidents above the law.
