One of the most radical Supreme Court Justices in American history made big news over the weekend by revealing the landmark case she most wants to overturn.
As Fox News reported, Sotomayor spoke at a Saturday event at George Washington’s Mount Vernon for roughly an hour. The topics covered during that time period included civics education, norms of civility, and leadership.
At one point in the lecture, Sotomayor said she wanted to revisit several rulings the conservative-leaning Court has issued in recent years.
And she had one in particular in mind.
Per Fox News, Sotomayor called out Trump v. United States, the landmark 2024 presidential immunity ruling.
As TGP readers know, the Supreme Court back in July 2024 ruled 6-3 that Trump had absolute immunity for his core Constitutional powers. Moreover, all former presidents are entitled to at least a presumption of immunity for their official acts.
The Supreme Court also said there is no immunity for unofficial acts.
“I dissent a lot. I’m hoping that the court will take back some of the crazy things that it’s done. I’m only joking — maybe not,” Sotomayor said. “No, seriously. You know, I’ve spoken openly about this, there’s some opinions that I hope in my lifetime will get overturned.”
“The immunity case is one of them.”
TGP previously reported that Sotomayor issued a hysterical dissent in the ruling.
“The President is now a king above the law,” Sotomayor said at the time. “Orders the Navy SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power?” Immune,” Sotomayor wrote in her dissent.
“With fear for our democracy, I dissent,” Sotomayor added.
She then got an epic smackdown from Chief Justice John Roberts.
“Unable to muster any meaningful textual or historical support, the principal dissent suggests that there is an “established understanding” that “former Presidents are answerable to the criminal law for their official acts.” Post, at 9. Conspicuously absent is mention of the fact that since the founding, no President has ever faced criminal charges—let alone for his conduct in office. And accordingly no court has ever been faced with the question of a President’s immunity from prosecution,” Roberts wrote.
“All that our Nation’s practice establishes on the subject is silence. Coming up short on reasoning, the dissents repeatedly level variations of the accusation that the Court has rendered the President ‘above the law,’” he continued.
But given the ages of so many conservative justices (especially Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas), Sotomayor may soon get her way, especially if the Democrats achieve a trifecta in 2028.
And the reversal of Trump vs. United States will be just the start of a reversal of constitutional protections for all Americans, including former presidents.
