The six right-wing justices on the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that future presidents have full immunity from criminal prosecution for illegal actions that are part of their core constitutional powers and presumptive immunity for illegal but official acts. This ruling defies the fundamental principle that no man is above the law and opens the door to a future president with unchecked power to act outside the law. Please join the Center for American Progress for a virtual event featuring distinguished panelists Akhil Amar, Tess Bridgeman, and Erwin Chemerinsky. They will address the threats the current Supreme Court and a future president could pose to the very foundation of American democracy, how this case lays the groundwork for radical Project 2025 agenda, and the scope of reform necessary to fend off this growing authoritarian movement.
