The Supreme Court has sided with President Trump in his presidential immunity case.
Monday’s decision itself was incredibly tame—typical for those authored by Chief Justice John Roberts. However, the response from the liberal justices was anything but.
Chief Justice Roberts wrote for the majority:
The nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.
And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.
