The United States Supreme Court is set to make a landmark decision on whether former President Donald Trump can claim 'absolute immunity' from criminal prosecution for actions taken in his bid to remain in power after the 2020 election. This case, which has garnered national attention, centers around Trump's efforts to overturn the election results and the legal boundaries of presidential immunity. Legal experts and the public alike are keenly watching as the Court examines the extent to which a president, or former president, can be held accountable for actions performed while in office.
The arguments presented to the Supreme Court will delve into constitutional interpretations and the precedent-setting nature of presidential immunity. Trump's legal team argues that the presidency grants him immunity from prosecution for actions deemed to be within the scope of his official duties.

This Supreme Court case is a crucial test of our democracy and the principle that no one, not even the president, is above the law.
It's essential for the Supreme Court to remember the foundational principle that no one, not even the President, is above the law. Granting 'absolute immunity' to any president sets a dangerous precedent that threatens the balance of power and the liberty of every American citizen.
