Coming up Thursday Nov. 7 on listener-supported Central Vermont Community Radio: A look at how the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision frees Donald Trump from legal constraints. 9:00 - 10:30 am
Next Tuesday, November 13, Vermont Law and Graduate School president Rod Smolla will examine the recent Supreme Court decision granting near-total immunity to the President of the United States for actions taken in official capacity. In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote, "In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."
We'll get Smolla's take on the decision, asking how it affects Donald Trump's freedom of action in office for a second term, how Biden could use it in his remaining months in office, and what ordinary citizens can do to preserve a democracy, not a monarchy.
Smolla's November 13 presentation is sponsored by the League of Women Voters and is online only, starting at 7 pm.
