In a recent court decision, Chief Justice John Roberts explained the rationale behind granting partial immunity to former President Donald Trump. The justification provided by Roberts bore resemblance to a famous quote from former President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal.
Roberts emphasized that the immunity granted was not based on the idea that the President is above the law simply by virtue of being in office. Instead, he argued that such immunity was necessary to allow the President to carry out their constitutionally mandated duties without facing undue pressures or distortions.
