remaining court cases. and why the former president is considering this a victory. the chances of a trial before the election are zero at this point. major: plus the strong chilling words from the dissenting justices. the cbs evening news starts now. good evening, everyone. i am major garrett in for norah o donnell. the groundbreaking decision from our nation s highest court. presidents have absolute immunity for official acts while in office, but they do not have immunity for unofficial acts. that means donald trump can and most certainly will claim broad immunity in his pending federal election interference case. a case that is now unlikely to be resolved before election day. chief justice john roberts penned the opinion writing the president may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers. as for the dissent, justice sonia sotomayor forcefully pushed back and deployed bleak hypotheticals orders the navy seal team six to assassinate a politi

Assistant to george w. Bush. Scott, let me start with you, were there echos of the axis of evil speech that president bush spoke about before the war against Saddam Hussein in 2003 .

So its becoming sort of the diminishing Press Briefing. Now, they would argue, hey, look, you had four different chances to ask the president questions today. That is true, and well take it. But of course shouted questions, yeah. Exactly, exactly. Shouted ques
