Alito/Roberts Court decides that Donald Trump enjoys immunity for “official acts”

Six right wing, Repub­li­can-appoint­ed mem­bers of the Unit­ed States Supreme Court have wrong­ly decid­ed that Pres­i­dents enjoy “absolute immu­ni­ty” for core con­sti­tu­tion­al pow­ers, and are enti­tled to “at least pre­sump­tive immu­ni­ty” for oth­er offi­cial actions. The deci­sion, in NPI’s view, rep­re­sents the Court’s lat­est attack on Amer­i­can democ­ra­cy and the rule of law.
