It seems that some of the conservative members of the Supreme Court agree with former President Donald Trump’s argument about presidential immunity. Justices like John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito showed support for some level of immunity for presidents while they are doing their official duties. This could affect politics in America by setting limits on presidential immunity and also impact the ongoing cases against Trump. This news suggests that the Supreme Court might rule in favor of Trump’s argument.
Clarence Thomas, who is usually quiet during hearings, strongly supported the idea of presidential immunity during the arguments. He challenged the government’s argument that presidents should not have immunity for certain official actions. Neil Gorsuch also questioned the government’s stance, asking about a scenario where a president peacefully protests in front of Congress and delays proceedings. The government admitted that a former president might not be prosecuted for such actions after leaving office. This shows that the justices are considering the issue of presidential immunity seriously.
Trump’s attorney expressed confidence that they will win the case in the Supreme Court. He believes that their arguments were supported during the hearing. While the final decision won’t be made until June, it looks promising for Trump. This news is significant for Trump and his supporters who believe in the importance of presidential immunity for carrying out official duties without fear of prosecution.
