Utah House Democratic Leader on Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity
Utah House Democratic Leader, Representative Angela Romero, issues the following statement: âTodayâs decision by the Supreme Court on presidential immunity is jarring and a true threat to our democracy. Every American should be terrified of the implications of this Supreme Court ruling.
The ruling allows past and future presidents to flout the law with impunity. On the eve of July 4th, when we celebrate Americaâs freedom from tyrannical rule, the Court has paved the way for a president to act like a king, ignoring the roles of the president outlined in the constitution by our countryâs founders. As Justice Sonia Sotomayor stated, this decision âmakes a mockery of the principle, foundational to our constitution and system of government, that no man is above the law.â
Americans must stand against this oppressive behavior and vote in November to make their voices heard. No man is above the law, and Americans deserve better than this.â
