U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), never one to mince words, has raised the stakes. He’s pointed out that President Joe Biden might want to start practicing his “Hail Mary” passes with the looming prospect of facing criminal prosecution if the U.S. Supreme Court rules against presidential immunity.
Graham’s recent appearance on Fox News Sunday turned into a fiery critique of Biden’s handling of the southern border crisis and various other matters. The Senator didn’t hold back as he highlighted Biden’s so-called reckless behavior in enforcing the law, particularly when it came to the parole statute.

The issue of illegal immigrants committing violent crimes after being let into the country was at the forefront of Graham’s argument. He specifically mentioned cases like Laken Riley’s murderer being released on parole due to capacity issues, emphasizing the potential legal repercussions Biden could face if the Supreme Court doesn’t rule in favor of preserving presidential immunity.
With the Supreme Court nearing the end of its term, a decision on Trump’s presidential immunity defense in Trump v. United States is on the horizon, potentially setting a significant precedent. The ruling is set to determine the extent of presidents’ criminal immunity for actions taken during their tenure.
Graham’s warning to Biden serves as a reminder that the outcome of this crucial Supreme Court decision could have far-reaching implications, affecting not just Trump but potentially setting the stage for legal consequences for Biden as well. It seems the political landscape is heating up, and the stakes are higher than ever.
