Trump Immunity Ruling Will Be John Roberts’ Legacy

Trump Immunity Ruling Will Be John Roberts’ Legacy


Rick Hasen: “Even putting aside the risks for future presidential authoritarianism, Roberts offers no acknowledgement that the court’s fact-intensive, slow-moving process has let Donald Trump run out the clock on claims of election subversion in 2020. Roberts surely was aware that this was an implication of the decision and surely the risks to democracy from this decision had to have crossed his mind.”

“Roberts’ failure to even acknowledge those risks, even if he thought the risks were worth taking because of larger principles at stake of protecting the presidency from bogus prosecutions in the future, is going to be Roberts’ legacy for American democracy. That is, if our democracy survives.”
