Ketanji Brown Jackson expresses concern over Trump immunity decision.
In July, the Court ruled that a former president enjoys substantial immunity from prosecution.
In history, the most powerful official in the United States has been declared by the court as having the ability to become a law unto themselves, under certain conditions, according to Jackson's dissent.
O'Donnell noted that her words sounded like a "warning."
Jackson stated that, in his opinion, the court's decision was as he saw it.
According to the majority opinion, Chief Justice Roberts stated that while the President is not above the law, Congress cannot criminalize the President's actions while performing their duties under the Constitution. Additionally, the Framers' system of separated powers necessitates an active and independent Executive branch.
"As prepared as anyone could be," she responded.
The court's majority opinion undermines the fundamental principle of our Constitution and government, which states that no one is above the law.

In her dissent, Jackson argued that while the president has the authority to remove a cabinet member, the question is whether the president has the option to remove the Attorney General by poisoning him to death.
She stated that the issue at hand is not whether the President possesses exclusive removal power, but rather whether a broad criminal law prohibiting murder can limit the President's ability to exercise that authority.
