Supreme Court Decision on Donald Trump's Immunity

In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court granted partial immunity to Donald Trump from criminal charges related to his alleged involvement in subverting the 2020 election. The decision potentially shields him from facing prosecution for his actions while in office, setting a precedent that a sitting president might be immune from certain criminal proceedings. The court's decision was divided along ideological lines, with the majority perceiving the prosecution of Trump as a threat to democracy, while the dissenting minority expressed concerns about the ruling undermining accountability for the president's actions.
