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. Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent expressed deep concern, arguing it creates near-absolute presidential immunity, potentially leading to abuses of power. 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.
