Pelosi Statement On Supreme Court Decision Violating The Foundational American Principle That No One Is Above the Law

San Francisco - Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the ruling in Trump v. United States:

"Today, the Supreme Court has gone rogue with its decision, violating the foundational American principle that no one is above the law.

"The former president's claim of total presidential immunity is an insult to the vision of our founders, who declared independence from a King. A seriously dangerous aspect of the ruling is its holding that official acts are inadmissible in trials for unofficial acts. With its delay, the Republican-appointed 6-3 Court gave the defendant a political gift.

"The Supreme Court placed itself on trial with this decision - and its credibility has been further diminished in the eyes of all those who believe in the rule of law."
