Prof. Richard Painter and UPenn Carey Law School Prof. Claire Finklestein Co-Author Op-Ed in Bloomberg Law about Presidential Immunity

Professor Richard Painter, S. Walter Richey Professor of Corporate Law, and Prof. Claire Finkelstein, Algernon Biddle Professor of Law and Professor of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, co-authored an opinion piece in Bloomberg Law about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the presidential immunity case. The authors said, “In addition to rejecting the Framers’ view of the relationship among the three branches, the court also imposed significant limits on judicial review. As we anticipated in an amicus brief filed with 14 national security professionals, granting immunity gives the president license to commit unspeakable acts with impunity, and also creates profound confusion within the military chain of command and among non-immune subordinates in the federal government.”
