Vox Populi:

Cutting straight to the heart of its harrowing July 1, 2024, decision from the bench, the blatantly partisan majority of U.S. Supreme Court justices sounded its death knell for American democracy, decreeing that the rule of law does not apply to the official decisions of the President of the United States.

The court granted carte-blanche legal immunity to any president, current or future, who deigns, by means of his or her official actions, to engage in criminal behavior in the furtherance of tyranny.

By granting presidents “absolute” and “presumed” immunity before the law, the high court crowned the occupant of the office of the presidency with unfettered dictatorial powers.

As dissenting Justice Sonia Sotomayor chided, “Ironic isn’t it? The man in charge of enforcing laws can now just break them.” Moreover, she added, “In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law”—precisely what the nation’s founders constitutionally sought to prevent.
