Supreme Court Ruling on Former Presidents' Immunity

The Supreme Court ruling granted former President Trump immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts even after leaving office. The court categorized presidential actions into three buckets: Core Constitutional Acts with complete immunity, Official Acts with presumptive immunity, and Unofficial Private Acts with no immunity. Dissenting justices criticized the ruling for creating a perception of a president above the law, while Trump hailed it as a win for the Constitution. The delay in sentencing in Trump's hush money trial raises legal and political tensions, emphasizing the ongoing need to uphold the rule of law.
