Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Monday that he and other Senate Democrats will work to advance legislation to strip former President Trump of the immunity he was granted under a recent Supreme Court ruling protecting a president’s official acts from criminal prosecution.
Schumer, invoking Congress’s powers to regulate the courts, said Democrats are working on legislation to classify Trump’s efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election as “unofficial acts” so they do not merit immunity from criminal prosecution under the high court’s recent 6-3 decision.
“They incorrectly declared that former President Trump enjoys broad immunity from criminal prosecution for actions he took while in office. They incorrectly declared that all future presidents are entitled to a breathtaking level of immunity so long as their conduct is ostensibly carried out in their official capacity as president,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.
Schumer said the court’s conservative justices had “effectively placed a crown on Donald Trump’s head,” putting him above the law and making him “in many ways untouchable.”
“I will work with my colleagues on legislation classifying Trump’s election subversion acts as unofficial acts not subject to immunity,” he announced. “We’re doing this because we believe that in America no president should be free to overturn an election against the will of the people, no matter what the conservative justices may believe.”
Schumer said senators will keep on working on other proposals to “rein in the abuse of our federal judiciary.”

Why not just propose a Bill of Attainder?
Seems Schumer has no problem skirting the Supreme Court. What other laws does he consider “not for me, but for thee”?
What an idiot. Three branches. Chuckie has no leg to stand on.
Sorry sport, even if you could get it through the house, you can’t pass a law that overrides the constitution.
The Schumer Democrat Crime Family trying to keep from being punished for their crimes.
Someone needs to teach Chuck “raw hamburger” Schumer a lesson GOOD AND HARD!!!
FU Schumer, rot in hell you dirty POS.
The democrats only do things for themselves not the country
This is a bill of attainment and is unconstitutional.
Wouldn’t this be ex post facto?
WHAT in the hatch, e, double L is schumer SO AFRAID OF! eventually power always, ALWAYS switches hands...unless evil people try to stop it. like schumer.
Ah - Schumer - another scam, false narrative. That isn’t what they ruled at all. The ruling was actually quite minimalist in its approach. They did not even make a specific ruling as to Trump - they simply declared the immunity exists, and sent it back to the lower courts for them have hearings on whether or not Trump’s actions were official or unofficial and whether or not the immunity applies to any specific actions.
F SCOTUS
For our democracy.
Schumer behind closed doors...Whatever we have to do, if it means criminally undermining, compromising and overthrowing Trump, or rewriting or creating new rules and laws, so be it!
SPIT.
He just did.
Why not just propose a Bill of Attainder?
That’s what it would be...unless Chuck means to have it apply to Trump’s next term...in which case Chucky may have read the writing on the wall.
