NY Post readers discuss criticism of the Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. US to uphold presidential immunity.
The Issue: Criticism of the Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. US to uphold presidential immunity.
The Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts made while in office sent shockwaves throughout the Democratic Party (“Liberals bemoan ‘key to dictatorship,’ ” July 2).
President Biden even came out and blasted it as unconstitutional and undemocratic, as it would give former President Donald Trump open season on committing crimes while in office. But I guess Biden forgot all the crimes he has committed while in office like the Afghanistan debacle, where 13 of our heroes were slaughtered and billions of dollars of equipment was left behind. Or the crisis at the border that was started by him ignoring border laws.

Biden’s speech attacking the Supreme Court appeared petty, petulant and beneath the dignity of the office; he ignores the purpose of the court. The judicial branch is independent of the other two branches of government.
