Schumer Introduces 'No Kings Act' to Undo Supreme Court's Presidential Immunity Ruling.
Schumer Introduces 'No Kings Act' to Undo Supreme Court's Presidential Immunity Ruling.
"Congress has an obligation to act as a check and ensure that the president does not become a king," an expert said in praise of Schumer's move.
"nah we like kings"
-"Republicans"
Benedict Arnold was a Republican.
I thought he was American?
As a republican from Australia, they’re a disgrace to the cause.
It is nuts that this act even has to be put forward. These conservative frauds claim to look at the original intent of the constitution. Making the president above the law is literally the exact opposite to what we fought and died for with England. These justices are traitors.
President Joe Biden, a Democrat
In case we didn't know
By all means let people know which side is the anti-king side as much as possible.
For the outsiders looking at American politics but doesn't know even the basics of it, that could be beneficial. My Polish friend doesn't even know who Kamala Harris is nor has even heard about her.
Very positive news.
This was not just a trrmp decision and shouldn't be seen as one.
It is a way for conservatives to take control of the government directly and without recourse in the event they get back into power, no matter who their demagogue of the year is.
For the American government to regain any semblance of a representative democracy, presidential immunity needs to be struck down or illegalized.
[...] Schumer has written into the bill "jurisdiction stripping" measures that would remove the Supreme Court's authority to render the legislation unconstitutional, and allow only lower courts in the District of Columbia to handle a legal challenge. Such jurisdiction stripping has been seldom used in the past and would likely be highly controversial.
TIL Jurisdiction Stripping - Wild I thought that Sup Court always had that check on Congress.
IANAL, but to my understanding, SCOTUS is defined by the constitution and given certain powers and protections, to interpret the constitution, mediate disputes between the political branches, and certain duties given to its chief Justice. Congress is given broad powers to set the laws, which includes details of how branches are run, like creating departments in the Executive, and setting the number of Justices on SCOTUS.
If I understand Jurisdiction Stripping correctly, it's not preventing SCOTUS from eventually reviewing the case, but a law that says they don't get the first review of legal challenges. It could slow the process, at the very least.
