What remains to be decided is whether Mr. Trump’s actions in his drive to prevent the election of Joe Biden were part of his official duties
People on their phones outside the Supreme Court in Washington after the Supreme Court decided on former President Donald Trump s immunity case on Monday, July 1, 2024The United Sates Supreme Court decided, but didn’t decide. It expanded presidential powers, but restricted them. It created clarity, but sowed confusion.
At the same time, it will shape the 2024 presidential election in a circuitous way. By deciding not to decide the case and sending it back to the district-court level, the Supreme Court in effect decided an ancillary issue: the timing of the final resolution of many of the most important criminal charges against Mr. Trump.
But, Chief Justice Roberts wrote, presidents and former presidents are vulnerable to legal action in cases where their actions are not directly part of their official responsibilities. . “This was a case about what kind of presidency we would have, shaping what is already the most powerful office on the planet,” said Laurence Tribe, a Harvard constitutional law expert. “It could be the most important decision in the last half-century at least.”
