Here is the full dissent by Justice Sonia Sotomayor from the overnight decision by the thoroughly partisan US Supreme Court to grant US Presidents immunity from prosecution while in office.
This is an historic blow to American democracy made considerably worse by the end of trust in the Supreme Court itself.
Today’s decision to grant former Presidents criminal immunity reshapes the institution of the Presidency. It makes a mockery of the principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of Government, that no man is above the law.
