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.
Who could possibly vote against not having a king? I’ll go get my surprised face ready.
Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna’ be fooled again!
I can’t thank you enough for sharing! I have a hare through flame tattoo and the Tiffany Aching series is my favourite series within my favourite series and I have never heard this album before.
This is a rather slow response from me, but I’m glad that you clicked blindly on my Spotify link and were rewarded 😊 I’d recommend the live concert DVD as well - with a guest appearance by a certain behatted author who came out to see his favourite band play an album based on his books. And frankly from there I’d recommend everything Steeleye Span have ever recorded.
I still think the correct response to that would have been Biden unilaterally ordering the arrest of the supreme court, citing the immunity they had just granted him. Then asking if maybe they would like to change their mind and not actually arresting them
That seems like a colossally stupid thing to do.
Why? Biden’s immune and a lame duck, especially after the election.
It would give them ammo for all the crap they’ve been saying about him from the beginning. And as much as it sucks, what the president does will affect what happens in November. Doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
