The legislation is a direct response to the Supreme Court’s ruling last month that former President Donald Trump has some immunity for official presidential acts.
“Given the dangerous and consequential implications of the Court’s ruling, legislation would be the fastest and most efficient method to correcting the grave precedent the Trump ruling presented,” Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement. “With this glaring and partisan overreach, Congress has an obligation — and a constitutional authority — to act as a check and balance to the judicial branch.”
Passing this bill should be a no-brainer. But with the current state of the republican party, I expect them to fully oppose it.
Which in reality would mean they are arguing for the immunity of a democrat
They don’t think a democrat would abuse this power. They know a republican would.
Why does everyone keep bringing up “immunity” as if it applies to democrats?
The supreme court is the body that decides if an “official act” is official or not.
Democrats will literally never be given immunity because they are not republicans.
Yes, but they know that the Democrats won’t do anything with that immunity, so they don’t care.
Obviously. They’re the ones who introduced this scumfuck of a bill in the first place, after all.
Perhaps they’ll get on board if they lose the election…
