Abstract

The article focuses on parallels between the Supreme Court's Dred Scott v. Sandford and Trump v. United States, illustrating how both decisions align with political interests and undermine democratic principles. It highlights Chief Justice John Roberts's extension of presidential immunity, likening it to the historical injustices of the Taney Court and critiquing its impact on the Court's legitimacy and accountability.
