READ: Justice Sotomayor's warning in her dissent:

以下是索托马约尔大法官在其异议中的警告的中文翻译:

"根据多数意见的推理,当[总统]以任何方式使用他的官方权力时,他现在将免于刑事起诉。下令海军海豹六队暗杀政治对手?豁免。组织军事政变以保住权力?豁免。收受贿赂换取赦免?豁免。豁免,豁免,豁免。让总统违法,让他利用职位谋取私利,让他滥用官方权力达到邪恶目的。因为如果他知道有朝一日可能因违法而承担责任,他可能就不会像我们希望的那样大胆无畏。这就是今天多数意见传达的信息。即使这些噩梦般的场景永远不会发生,我祈祷它们永远不会发生,但损害已经造成。总统与他所服务的人民之间的关系已经发生了不可逆转的转变。在每一次使用官方权力时,总统现在都成了凌驾于法律之上的国王。"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"When [the president] uses his official powers in any way, under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune. Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority's message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."
