Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has issued a stark warning in her dissent regarding a recent Supreme Court decision. According to Sotomayor, the ruling effectively grants the President of the United States immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken using official powers. She highlighted the extreme implications of this decision by suggesting that even if the President ordered the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate political rivals, he would be immune from prosecution. This decision has sparked significant concern, with some critics arguing that it places the President above the law. In her dissent, Sotomayor stated, 'In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.'
