Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., on Monday praised the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity as a rebuke to Democrats and a victory for former President Donald Trump.
The Court on Monday issued a ruling declaring that "Congress may not criminalize the president's conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the executive branch under the Constitution," noting that "official" acts taken by the president are protected, but "actions taken by Trump in his unofficial capacity" are not.
"Today's Supreme Court ruling upholds the rule of law in our country and rebukes Democrats' blatant attempts to weaponize our legal system against Donald Trump. Time and time again, Americans have watched the Biden administration do everything in its power to take down President Trump, but this partisan attack will not stand in America," Blackburn said in a statement.
The ruling did not outline what these actions were, sending the case back to the trial judge to decide what actions Trump took were official and which were unofficial.
