   If this case was about that gay nigger Obama, Democrats would be dancing in   
   the streets and lighting bonfires.   
      
   Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday the “MAGA wing of the   
   Supreme Court” issued the majority decision granting presidential immunity   
   for official acts in office, as she backed Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s   
   scathing dissent in the case.   
      
   “I agree with Justice Sotomayor about the immunity ruling from the MAGA wing   
   of the Supreme Court,” Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee who lost to   
   Trump, said in a post on the social platform X.   
      
      
   “It will be up to the American people this November to hold Donald Trump   
   accountable,” Clinton added.   
      
   The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled Monday that core presidential   
   powers are immune from criminal prosecution, a win for former President   
   Trump that returns his federal election interference case to a lower court   
   to determine whether actions he took in his efforts to overturn the election   
   in 2020 merit protection.   
      
   The ruling was decided on ideological lines and stopped short of granting   
   Trump the total immunity he sought in the case. Still, it helps Trump by   
   making it less likely the case will head to trial before the 2024   
   presidential election this November.   
      
   The case now returns to district court, where proceedings have been paused   
   while the high court weighed Trump’s immunity claims. Judge Tanya Chutkan,   
   who is overseeing the matter, must now weigh the issue for a second time, as   
   well as other pending efforts by Trump seeking to toss the case.   
      
   Sotomayor issued a forceful 30-page dissent Monday, joined by fellow liberal   
   Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. She extensively read her   
   dissent from the bench, a rarity reserved for when a justice wants to   
   underscore sharp disagreements on a case.   
      
   “Today’s decision to grant former Presidents criminal immunity reshapes the   
   institution of the Presidency,” she wrote. “It makes a mockery of the   
   principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of Government, that   
   no man is above the law.”   
      
   “The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted   
   irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king   
   above the law,” her dissent read.   
      
   Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) similarly slammed the Supreme   
   Court for its “disgraceful” decision, which he said “enables the former   
   President to weaken our democracy by breaking the law.”   
      
   “This decision undermines the credibility of the Supreme Court, and suggests   
   that political influence trumps all in our courts today,” Schumer said.   
      
   Ralph Nader — a four-time White House hopeful whose 2000 candidacy has been   
   criticized as a “spoiler” in the race — attacked the decision, but put   
   blame   
   on Clinton for running a “blundering campaign” that let Trump ascend to the   
   presidency.   
      
   “A dictatorial, unelected majority in the Supreme Court has just rendered   
   America a dictatorial president above the law. Thank you Hillary Clinton,   
   whose blundering campaign let the dictatorial Trump become president and led   
   to a rightwing dictatorial majority on the Supreme Court,” he wrote in a   
   post on X.
