Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said on Saturday that she hopes the court’s decision granting former presidents broad criminal immunity will be overturned, saying her colleagues have done some “crazy things.”

Appearing for a civics education talk at George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate, the liberal justice also publicly commented for the first time on this week’s midterm contests, when Democrats swept control of both chambers of Congress.

The justice specifically singled out the court’s 6-3 decision along ideological lines that former presidents enjoy at least presumptive immunity for their official acts. At the time, the justice wrote that it made Trump and his successors a “king above the law.”

    Essentially an amendment saying that the government can't interfere when the profession of medicine, the practitioner, and the patient are in agreement that a treatment is reasonable. It will protect stuff like abortion, transition, etc while not protecting stuff like quackery (because the medical profession disagrees with it)
