Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) argued that the Department of Justice “overreached” when it asked for the Supreme Court to weigh in on presidential immunity and ended up getting what it asked for.
Kennedy made his statement in response to a claim by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), who argued that the conservative majority of the Supreme Court will be seen as “extreme & nakedly partisan hacks” after its decision in Trump v. United States. The Louisiana senator contended that Blumenthal is incorrect in his assessment and that the Justice Department brought this upon itself.
