Harris expressed concern\u2063 that the\u2062 court&#8217;s\u200d decision could enable Trump to act without checks or balances, referring to him as a \u201cdictator\u201d\u200c who would operate \u2063without guardrails\u200d from the very first day \u200bof his potential reelection. \u200bShe emphasized that this ruling undermines the threat\u200c of consequences for Trump\u2019s actions, raising alarm about the \u2064implications for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-has-now-signed-52-executive-orders-and-actions-in-first-20-days-in-office\/\" title=\"Biden Has Now Signed 52 Executive Orders And Actions In First 20 Days In Office\">democratic governance<\/a> \u2063if he were to return to power. The Supreme Court&#8217;s \u2064recent\u200c ruling favored Trump, complicating efforts to hold him \u2064accountable, particularly in relation to investigations surrounding the events\u200d after the 2020 election.\u2064 Harris&#8217;s comments aim to rally support against Trump&#8217;s candidacy by stressing the significance of the court&#8217;s decision and its potential impact on democracy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris warns of Trump presidency with &lsquo;no guardrails&rsquo; over Supreme Court immunity ruling<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1741884\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>SAVANNAH, Georgia &mdash;<\/strong> Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/WWW.WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM\/tag\/kamala-harris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> warned voters in Georgia that former President Donald Trump would face no checks or balances and would be a &ldquo;dictator&rdquo; on day one due to the Supreme Court&rsquo;s recent immunity <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3030301\/supreme-court-finds-some-immunity-for-presidents-complicating-trump-indictment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>ruling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;The United States Supreme Court recently just basically told the former president that going forward he will be effectively immune no matter what he does in the White House,&rdquo; Harris said to voters at a rally in the state&rsquo;s coastal city of Savannah on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I mention the Supreme Court ruling because understand what this means.

At a rally in Savannah on Thursday evening, Harris stated, \u201cThe United States Supreme Court has essentially informed the former president that he will be largely immune from any actions he takes while in the White House.\u201d She emphasized the implications of this ruling: \u201cPreviously, there was at least some threat of consequences. Now envision Donald Trump without any restrictions,\u201d she warned as the Democratic presidential nominee. \u201cConsider what it means when he has openly declared that if reelected, he will act as a dictator from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On July 1, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump may have certain protections against prosecution for actions taken during his presidency related to the aftermath of the 2020 election. This decision weakened special counsel Jack Smith\u2019s case against him. Chief Justice John Roberts asserted that a former president is entitled to &#8220;absolute immunity&#8221; for actions within their constitutional authority and &#8220;presumptive immunity&#8221; for official acts but noted there is no protection for &#8220;unofficial acts.&#8221; Critics from both parties have condemned Trump&#8217;s behavior leading up to and during the January 6 Capitol riot when his supporters tried to prevent then-Vice President Mike Pence from certifying election results.<\/p>\n<p>Harris argued that this Supreme Court ruling would allow Trump to evade accountability for his conduct while in office, including plans reportedly aimed at restructuring the Justice Department. Accompanied by her running mate Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), Harris visited Georgia as part of a two-day bus tour where they engaged with local businesses and held discussions at Savannah high school\u2014marking her first visit as part of her campaign since becoming the top Democratic candidate.
