WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will introduce legislation Thursday reaffirming that presidents do not have immunity for criminal actions, an attempt to reverse the Supreme Court’s landmark decision last month.

Schumer’s No Kings Act would attempt to invalidate the decision by declaring that presidents are not immune from criminal law and clarifying that Congress, not the Supreme Court, determines to whom federal criminal law is applied.

The court’s conservative majority decided July 1 that presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken within their official duties — a decision that threw into doubt the Justice Department’s case against Republican former President Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.

Schumer, of New York, said that Congress has an obligation and the constitutional authority to check the Supreme Court on its decision.

Someone should tell Schecky that this is a Bill of Attainder.

Where's the Beef, Schecky?

Meanwhile the Democrat delegates get to pick Harris or Harris or Harris.

No Kings.

Lol.

Chuck should be in Gitmo for refusing to prosecute the Mayorkas impeachment in the Senate as the US Constitution demands.

[Frank Drebin]

Interesting how the "Legislative" branch is suddenly concerned with "reigning in" Judicial Branch "oversteps".

Pound sand, Chuck.

Pound it every day, all day long, for the rest of your life. However long the deal you made with Moloch gives you.

Considering the depth & breadth of the BIDEN CRIMINAL CORRUPTION FAMILY BUSINESS-—the Dems should STHU

[Leaning Right]

There’s got to be a conservative DA somewhere who is willing to indict Biden and Harris for various (real) crimes.

Because as it is now, only one side is playing hardball.

There is nothing even remotely accurate with the actual supreme court decision. The media and Dems totally lie about what it actually was.

[PGR88]

He should call it the “Deep State Empowerment Act”

[Deo volente]

Is this headline from the Bee?

There’s mass insanity infecting the Democrat Party.

[SuperLuminal]

Nothing, absolutely nothing or nobody stops the communists from adding new links in the heavy chains of tyranny around our necks at every opportunity...

While the American peasants blissfully sleep, the communists continue to trample over them and the former Constitution...

ALL PROPAGANDA

[who_would_fardels_bear]

We poor uncultured slobs just don’t understand hamburgers tartare.

[bray]

Will it apply to Biden?

[chaosagent]

So if this No Kings Act were to actually pass, couldn’t SCOTUS just rule it unconstitutional?

[CodeToad]

Trump should get elected and introduce the “Schumer Act: Term Limits”

[Thud]

This is totally about fund-raising from the party faithful.
