SUMMARY: Kristie Pereira, after consulting two veterinarians, took her sick puppy, Beau, to a Maryland shelter to be euthanized. However, last week, she discovered Beau up for adoption at the same rescue organization where she originally got him. Pereira, now in San Antonio, had adopted Beau in late 2022 but soon found serious health issues. Despite consulting multiple vets and considering expensive tests, she ultimately decided on euthanasia. But the shelter didn't euthanize Beau, deeming it unnecessary.

SUMMARY: In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court decided 6-3 that former presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts while in office, but not for unofficial acts.

The ruling influences the delay in Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion case as courts discern which actions are protected. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined Sotomayor, stressing the long-term impact on constitutional democracy. Chief Justice John Roberts defended the decision, emphasizing the necessity of presidential powers while cautioning against routine prosecutions of ex-presidents.
