Utah House Democratic Leader on Supreme Court Ruling on Presidential Immunity
SALT LAKE CITY—Today's decision by the Supreme Court on presidential immunity is jarring and a true threat to our democracy. Every American should be terrified of the implications of this Supreme Court ruling.
The ruling allows past and future presidents to flout the law with impunity. On the eve of July 4th, when we celebrate America's freedom from tyrannical rule, the Court has paved the way for a president to act like a king, ignoring the roles of the president outlined in the constitution by our country's founders. As Justice Sonia Sotomayor stated, this decision "makes a mockery of the principle, foundational to our constitution and system of government, that no man is above the law."
It’s time for Americans to stand up to this tyrannical behavior, show up at the ballot in November, and make their voices heard. No man is above the law. America deserves better than this.
