President Biden claimed this week that the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity 'undermines the rule of law of this nation,' just one month after he said the justice system and its decisions 'should be respected' and bragged about the high court not being able to 'stop' him from carrying out his agenda.
The comments from the president struck a different tone from that which he used in May, when he claimed the justice system 'should be respected' and that it was 'reckless' for Trump to claim that the verdict in his New York City criminal trial was 'rigged.' 'It's reckless, it's dangerous, it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict,' Biden said in response to Trump's remarks about the NY v.
This is a fundamentally new principle, and it's a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States. The only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone,' Biden said Monday. Prior to ending his speech and dodging questions from reporters, Biden spoke about the character of the nation's first president, George Washington, and how he believed power was limited, not absolute.
