​​Presidential Powers Expanded? Supreme Court Decision Gives Presidents Dictator-like Powers, Warn Experts

Описание

The US Supreme Court ruled that former presidents cannot be prosecuted for official actions taken while in office, granting Trump a partial victory. This will likely delay Trump's criminal cases beyond the 2024 election. Experts warn this decision fundamentally transforms the presidency and undermines the rule of law, giving presidents powers more akin to dictators. There are now few limits on a president's ability to abuse power for political gain. Future presidents now have broad immunity to distort justice, subvert the law, and shield themselves from criminal liability for official acts taken to advance their own self-interests.
