Dems Are Escalating Supreme Court War With Unconstitutional Bill Targeting Presidential Immunity Ruling, Experts Say
SUMMARY
Democrats have introduced the "No Kings Act," a bill aimed at reversing the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity. The ruling, which grants presidents immunity from prosecution for official acts taken while in office, has sparked criticism from some legal experts. The bill, introduced by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, would not only reverse the decision but also strip the Supreme Court of jurisdiction over cases related to prosecuting former presidents. Experts, including Ilya Shapiro from the Manhattan Institute and John Yoo from UC Berkeley, argue that the bill is unconstitutional and part of a broader progressive push against the Court. Despite its introduction, the bill is unlikely to pass in the current Congress, but could gain traction if Democrats secure majorities in future elections.
