Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson expressed strong dissent in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling that granted immunity to the President from certain legal actions. In her separate opinion, Justice Jackson criticized the majority's decision, stating that it sets a dangerous precedent by providing immunity only to the most powerful government official.
She argued that the ruling goes against the long-standing principle that no one is above the law, which has historically safeguarded the nation from descending into despotism. Justice Jackson warned that the court's decision could potentially shield a future President who engages in egregious acts such as ordering assassinations or instigating coups.
