Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) released a statement in response to the Supreme Court's ruling on a case regarding whether presidents have immunity in their official and unofficial acts:

"No one is above the law. This principle has enabled our democracy to thrive for centuries, ensuring that no one - no president or any other government official - is beyond accountability. Today's ruling granting total legal immunity for official acts to a former President-without defining those acts--sets a terrifying precedent of unchecked executive power.

"On the week our country will celebrate 248 years of independence from a king, the activist conservative majority has upended centuries of precedent. We are a nation of laws, and all are obligated to follow them for our government to function. This decision by the Republican-appointed Justices who want nothing more than to dismantle the Constitution, endangers our democracy and the rule of law. We must work to bring these far-right judges into compliance with the Constitution."
