"No Kings Act" Seeks to Override Immunity Ruling

And why the f#ck do we even HAVE a Constitution if these hack SC justices just apparently ignore what it says and rule for Presidential immunity like the Constitution says we need a new king after 250 years. 🙄 What the f#ck. They know democratic presidents are too nice to take advantage of the power it gives them and Republicans will seize power without hesitation.Trump shouldn't be allowed to run for President again since he took part in an insurrection. Republicans have ignored separation of Church and State since forever...
The Constitution means dog shit to these traitors unless it's f#cking freedom for firearms.
And they have the nerve to pretend to have the claim on patriotism with their constant stupid f#cking flag waving. I'm f#cking tired of it.
Chuck Schumer introduced a bill in the Senate today to declare explicitly that presidents do not have immunity from criminal conduct, overriding last month's supreme court ruling that Donald Trump has some immunity for his actions as president.
The No Kings Act, which would apply to presidents and vice-presidents, has more than two dozen Democratic co-sponsors.
"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," the Senate majority leader said in a statement.
It will likely be blocked by Republicans, but if Democrats take the House, it will become law. At the very least, it gets Republicans on record as wanting a king right before the election.
