U.S. President Joe Biden said on Monday the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity set a “dangerous precedent” that could turn presidents into kings and called on the American people to “dissent” by rejecting Donald Trump in November’s election.
“This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one, no one is above the law. Not even the president of the United States,“ Biden said, reading from a teleprompter.“It’s a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law,“ Biden said. “The only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone.
Biden said he sided with liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who wrote she feared for U.S. democracy in her dissent in the 6-3 decision. Asked on Fox News about Biden’s remarks, House Speaker Mike Johnson called them “despicable” and “dangerous” and accused the president of “trying to undermine the Supreme Court.”
