'Justice Karen': MAGA revolts over Amy Coney Barrett’s Trump immunity disagreement
Raw StoryThe U.S. Supreme Court Monday handed down its anxiously awaited decision on former President Donald Trump's claim that he enjoys absolute immunity from prosecution in special counsel Jack Smith's federal election interference case. Justice Amy Coney Barrett was part of the GOP majority in the ruling, which found that immunity was justified — but only for core official duties. In an article published by Newsweek on July 1, reporter Katherine Fung said of Barrett, "While she agreed with the Court's opinion at large, she disagreed with one part of the ruling that held the Constitution prevents protected conduct from being introduced as evidence in a criminal prosecution against a former president, siding with the bench's three liberals instead." Meanwhile, legal expert Steve Vladecksaid of Barrett, " There's an important sub-part of the Trump immunity ruling in which #SCOTUS holds that "protected conduct" also can't be used as *evidence* to establish other charges.
