Biden criticizes Supreme Court ruling on immunity, warns of enabling a president to act lawlessly


President Joe Biden criticized the Supreme Court decision granting immunity to Donald Trump in his criminal election interference case, calling it a disservice to the American people and stating that no one is above the law. Biden expressed concern that the decision would give the president virtually limitless power and delay the start of a trial before the upcoming election. He emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in upholding democracy. The 6-3 decision, which rejected Trump’s broad immunity claim but protected some actions related to his presidential duties, will have implications for future presidents as well. Trump, who has been charged by special counsel Jack Smith for his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election, maintains his innocence. Biden’s dissent echoed that of liberal justices on the court, who argued that the decision sets a dangerous precedent for presidential accountability. The ruling instructs a lower court to determine which of Trump’s actions are protected by immunity and which are not. Overall, Biden’s remarks highlight the ongoing debate over executive power and the need for a transparent and fair legal process in addressing allegations of election interference.
