Justices uphold presidential immunity for official acts

Justices Cite Dissent Over Presidential Immunity Ruling
The three liberal justices led by Sonia Sotomayor condemn the ruling extending presidential immunity to official acts as a threat to democracy. Sotomayor says the decision makes the president above the law and warns of dangerous outcomes including possible corruption and an erosion of accountability. Justice Jackson also weighs in, arguing the majority creates a Presidential accountability model that shields the president from punishment.
