Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said during a recent interview with CBS News that she was 'concerned' about the Trump immunity ruling.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson told CBS News' Norah O'Donnell during a recent interview that she was worried about the Trump immunity ruling. 'I was concerned about a system that appeared to provide immunity for one individual under one set of circumstances, when we have a criminal justice system that had ordinarily treated everyone the same,' she said.
Donnell noted that her words sounded like a 'warning.' 'That was my view of what the court determined,' Jackson responded. In the majority opinion, Chief Justice Roberts wrote, 'The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution. And the system of separated powers designed by the Framers has always demanded an energetic, independent Executive.
As prepared as anyone could be,' she responded. 'I think there are legal issues that arise out of the political process, and so the Supreme Court has to be prepared to respond if that should be necessary,' Jackson said. Jackson, along with Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, described a series of hypothetical scenarios about what the majority opinion's ruling might mean in their dissent.
