Katyal and Luttig: Presidential Immunity Unconstitutional?

Kettering Foundation Senior Fellows Neal Katyal and J. Michael Luttig spoke with Kettering chief external affairs officer and director of DC operations Brad Rourke about the landmark ruling by the Supreme Court on presidential immunity in Trump v. United States. This decision redefines our constitutional structure and raises profound questions about the balance of power in our democracy.

    If trump is the only person in America who the supremes made immune to criminal prosecution, but everyone around him, working for him, or associated with him is not immune from prosecution of crimes…then does that mean if trump as president orders anyone around or under him to help him do something criminal for which they can be held accountable, does that give anyone not named trump the ability to refuse the orders of the “commander in chief”? And does that not render him useless? Can prosecutors right now go after everyone involved in trumps current criminal indictments?

    In dictator ruled countries they would no longer exist - because they would be considered a threat to power. Putin has assassinated his enemies. The Saudi crown prince assassinated a threat to him. Kim of N. Korea has assassinated members of his own family. This SCOTUS is a disgrace and has opened the door to any rogue president to do the same without impunity.

It’s refreshing to hear a scholar of The United States Constitution who “gets it.” There are fundamental and overarching themes-after all. The Immunity decision not only misses those, but subverts them. I’ll do whatever I can to support you, channels like this, and other lawyers like Mr. Katyal as we continue this fight for justice. It is of monumental importance.

    I was once an employee for DHS, every year we had to take Ethic training and I wonder if any of these judges ever take this training? I remembered that I could not even receive any gift more than 10 dollars. 😂 but Thomas for years took in millions of dollars and nobody said anything. Geez.. We need to have applied ethics to these judges and all official.

And the next step should be that judges who respect the law around the country should get together and state that they will no longer heed what this SC says but will only obey appeal courts as their highest authority. Time to end the fiasco of giving respect to justices who despise the people and the Constitution.

    The SC (Supreme Court) decision to grant a president absolute immunity for official actions and presumed immunity out to the perimeter of their power is, of itself, a violation of our constitution. 1. There is nothing in our constitution granting a president immunity from criminal prosecution - "no man is above the law" 2. This SC ruled that a president enjoys absolute immunity for official acts, etc., and in doing so amended the constitution. They wrote a new protection into the constitution that was not there at all beforehand. 3. Only Congress has the authority to amend the constitution 4. Therefore, the ruling by the SC is itself un-constitution and must be retracted

    Agreed. My view is round them all up and charge and jail them now. If that doesn't happen now it will happen in reverse in January, under Trump (What does anyone think will happen to Jack Smith, Garland, Cheney, Pelosi, Clinton, Katyal, Luttig, Milley, MSNBC, the Times etc etc?) And the US will be gone. An immoral act can be moral, such as killing enemy soldiers in war, assassinating Hitler, etc. The moral difference in this case is whether to save America or destroy it. Refusing to act appropriately is understandable but is, in fact, cowardice and betrayal. Refusing to act is to betray the Constitution - action is justified because its intent is to defend the constitution - from domestic enemies.

    Dred Scott is a parlor game compared to Trump v. United States. I've got to ask you, Neal, how could you possibly have ANY respect for Roberts, never mind "a great deal of respect" for him? He plainly lied during his confirmation when he stated under oath that "no man is above the law, not even the president." He also lied about precedent, he lied about judicial restraint, and he lied with that BS "I'm just an umpire." Judge Luttig is right, the decision is unconstitutional. Not even mentioned is the fact that by this ruling, the Supreme Court has invalidated the impeachment clause. They have just immunized the president of the United States against "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

    AIUI there is no way to change the ruling other than another SCOTUS ruling which vacates this opinion and changes it. If Congress passed a law to attempt to change the decision then SCOTUS can (and surely would) rule Congress's effort was unconstitutional. It seems the only remaining bulwark against a criminal presidency would be impeachment, yet the chances of that under the present political situation seem nil. And even then, it could only ensure removal from office, it couldn't provide for criminal punishment. And that makes for a "heads I win, tails you lose" situation for a criminal president - it encourages criminality because there are no penalties (beyond removal from office).
