Welcome to another episode of the Cross Examiner Rocket Docket, where you are the judge. In this urgent episode, our host, an atheist attorney, dives into the recent Supreme Court decision in Trump v. US. The ruling has profound implications, suggesting that a president could be immune from prosecution for actions taken under core constitutional powers, even if those actions include extreme measures like ordering an assassination.

The episode unpacks the Supreme Court's opinion, including dissents from Justices Sotomayor and Jackson. The host explores the three "buckets" of presidential activity defined by the court: core constitutional powers, purely private matters, and other official actions. The court's decision is critiqued for potentially reverting the presidency to a quasi-monarchical status, conflicting with the intentions of the founding fathers as expressed in the Federalist Papers.

Our host raises critical questions about the future of presidential accountability and the potential need for a constitutional convention to clarify and update the nation's foundational document. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the balance of power in the United States government.
