President Biden
In a speech at the White House on Monday, US President Joe Biden strongly criticized the US Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity, warning that it sets a “dangerous precedent” that could be exploited by Donald Trump if elected in November.
Biden emphasized the gravity of the Supreme Court’s decision, which upheld Trump’s claim of immunity from prosecution in a 6-3 verdict.
This ruling potentially delays Trump’s trial related to the January 6 events, prompting Biden to assert that it effectively removes limits on presidential actions.
“The American people must decide if they want to entrust the presidency to Donald Trump once again, knowing that he will feel more empowered to act without restraint,” Biden declared, expressing concerns over the implications of unchecked presidential power.
Highlighting the principle of equality before the law in America, Biden underscored that “there are no kings in America,” reiterating that no individual, including the president, is above the law.
While the Supreme Court did not dismiss the indictment against Trump, it delivered a significant victory by allowing him to claim immunity, aligning with his legal strategy to defer legal proceedings until after the election.
Trump celebrated the decision on social media, proclaiming it as a “BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY” and expressing pride in being an American.
The timing of Trump’s trial is pivotal, as a potential reelection could enable him to appoint an attorney general who might seek to dismiss the case.
Moreover, Trump could explore the option of self-pardon, further complicating the legal landscape.
Biden’s critique of the Supreme Court’s ruling reflects broader concerns about the balance of power and the rule of law in the United States.
As the election approaches, the implications of this decision resonate deeply, shaping public discourse and political strategy in the lead-up to November.
