The ‘MAGA Supreme Court’ Doesn’t Exist

Democrats have campaigned against the Supreme Court for years, but they’re at Defcon 1 after Monday’s ruling that the Presidency has immunity for official acts. “This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each of us is equal before the law,” President Biden said. On Monday, he added, “that fundamentally changed.”

Chuck Schumer was even less nuanced. “This disgraceful decision by the MAGA Supreme Court—which is comprised of three justices appointed by Mr. Trump himself—enables the former President to weaken our democracy by breaking the law,” the Democratic Senate leader said. Messrs. Biden and Schumer are echoing Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s doomsday dissent in the immunity case, Trump v. U.S., but it’s a caricature of the ruling and the Supreme Court.
