Presidential immunity is wrong. We must reform the Supreme Court

On July 1, the Supreme Court turned the Constitution upside down and declared the president of the United States to be above the law.

I am not going to describe the decision on presidential immunity except to say that they have decided the president of the United States is immune from criminal prosecution for acts done in his core duties under the Constitution. Thus chaos rules over the land in place of the rule of law. And the Supreme Court of the United States, having abandoned its role as the arbiter of the Constitution, has made the president of the United States into a king. In the process it has made itself the arbiters and legitimizers of the powers of the king. And the legacy of John Roberts will be as the last chief justice of the United States of America. Roberts will be chief justice who presided over the death of the great American experiment in constitutional democracy.

Opinion: The Supreme Court just did Biden a huge favor by giving Trump immunity

Unless we, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, reelect President Joe Biden and give him a democratically-controlled House and Senate so that he can remake the Supreme Court into one that will respect the Constitution and undo the extra-constitutional decisions made by the Roberts court and restore the liberties taken away by the Roberts (Alito/Thomas) court.
