**Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Claim of Absolute Immunity**
In a landmark 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump cannot claim absolute immunity from civil lawsuits for actions taken while in office. The ruling underscores the principle that no president is above the law.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, warned that granting blanket immunity would create an “imperial presidency,” undermining the Constitution’s system of checks and balances. The Court emphasized that while some official acts may receive certain protections, a president cannot use the office as a shield against accountability for private conduct.
The decision sends Trump’s ongoing election interference case back to lower courts, where judges must now distinguish between actions taken in an official capacity and those taken privately. Legal experts say the ruling marks a significant moment in defining the limits of presidential power and could have implications for current and future officeholders.
Six justices rejected the notion of absolute immunity, signaling that even the highest office in the land is subject to the rule of law. This ruling is widely seen as reinforcing accountability at the very top of American government.
