"The Supreme Court has been an embarrassment to our founders, just to have immunity for any president, whoever it might be, and to do so and take forever to do it so that justice could not be addressed one way or another," Pelosi said during a recent interview with The New York Times.
Her comments came in response to the Court's July 1, 2024, decision, where a 6-3 majority established that former presidents have presumptive immunity for official acts during their tenure, with absolute immunity for certain "core" presidential functions. The ruling specifically granted immunity for official Justice Department interactions, including actions related to election results.
While criticizing the High Court's approach to presidential immunity, the former Speaker acknowledged her well-documented differences with the Republican presidential winner but attempted to steer the conversation toward broader institutional concerns.
"My thoughts about Donald Trump are well known. I'm not an admirer of his lack of patriotism and the rest, but I'm not here to go into that," she said.
