Supreme Court's Immunity Ruling Shields Presidential Actions from Prosecution
The decision grants presidents sweeping protections for official acts, raising concerns about unchecked executive power.
- The ruling provides absolute immunity for core constitutional powers and presumptive immunity for other official acts.
- Critics argue the decision creates a 'law-free zone' around the presidency, undermining the rule of law.
- Legal analysts believe the ruling will not affect Trump's existing criminal cases in New York and Georgia.
- The decision adds to the Supreme Court's trend of increasing its own power while limiting federal agencies.
- Opponents warn that the ruling could enable future presidents to abuse power without legal consequences.
