Craig Cowie joins Justin in this week’s episode to discuss the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity and its implications for prosecuting a president for criminal acts. The discussion centers around the tension between protecting a president from legal interference and ensuring accountability for illegal actions, like bribery and even assassination. Cowie critiques the Court’s vague framework, which leaves key questions unanswered about how these issues will be prosecuted in the future. The conversation highlights concerns about a shift of power from Congress and the executive to the judiciary, allowing the courts to play a larger role in determining the criminal culpability of a sitting president. Cowie warns that this ruling could effectively shield a president from prosecution, relying only on impeachment or elections as remedies.
