Bestselling novelist Stephen King is furious with the United States Supreme Court for their Monday ruling which granted immunity to convicted felon Donald Trump for any “official” actions he committed while serving as president.
The 6-2 decision from the high court is being slammed by many who are concerned it will allow U.S. presidents to get away with murder if they can prove their actions were done as part of their official duties.
In postings he made on Twitter, King slammed the six conservative justices who provided the failed ex-president with blanket immunity.
“In the name of ‘originalism,’ Trump’s Supreme Court has taken a wrecking ball to the Constitution,” King wrote.
Later, King added,
“Thanks to the Supreme Court, the next president will have the powers of a king.
“That’s not what the founders intended. Quite the opposite.”
And then there was this from King: “Overturning Roe [vs. Wade over abortion rights] took power from women. Today’s decision takes power from all of us.”
According to Newsweek, the first post has garnered 1.2 million views while the second stands at over 3 million views.
King got plenty of support from others on social media, too.
