 But the big kahuna of the rulings this term involved presidential immunity. The court ruled six to three that a president cannot be prosecuted for actions taken within constitutional powers he or she has as president. But in the dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said this means the president couldn't be prosecuted if he ordered SEAL Team 6 to kill a political rival, that he couldn't be prosecuted if he organized a military coup. Chief Justice John Roberts in the majority said that is incorrect. A president is not above the law.
