TDS: Schumer Introducing Bill Stripping Trump Of Immunity

It won’t pass the House. It might not pass the Senate. If, by some reason it did pass and made it to Biden’s desk and he signed it the Supreme Court would kill it. It is seriously deranged how much Trump has gotten into their heads, and really, isn’t it un-Constitutional to try and pass a law that targets exactly one person? If the law is more broad, well, Chuck should remember that it would leave Biden open to prosecution

Schumer pushing bill to strip Trump of court-granted immunity

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Monday that he and other Senate Democrats will work to advance legislation to strip former President Trump of the immunity he was granted under a recent Supreme Court ruling protecting a president’s official acts from criminal prosecution.

Schumer, invoking Congress’s powers to regulate the courts, said Democrats are working on legislation to classify Trump’s efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election as “unofficial acts” so they do not merit immunity from criminal prosecution under the high court’s recent 6-3 decision.

“They incorrectly declared that former President Trump enjoys broad immunity from criminal prosecution for actions he took while in office. They incorrectly declared that all future presidents are entitled to a breathtaking level of immunity so long as their conduct is ostensibly carried out in their official capacity as president,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.

Schumer said the court’s conservative justices had “effectively placed a crown on Donald Trump’s head,” putting him above the law and making him “in many ways untouchable.”

“I will work with my colleagues on legislation classifying Trump’s election subversion acts as unofficial acts not subject to immunity,” he announced. “We’re doing this because we believe that in America no president should be free to overturn an election against the will of the people, no matter what the conservative justices may believe.”

Hmm, sounds like Chuck is trying to subvert Democracy! by refusing to comply with the rulings of the Judicial Branch, to use Democrat language. Regulating the courts does not allow the Senate to disregard/change a Supreme Court ruling, nor strip Constitutionally guaranteed immunity. The only way to change immunity is with an Amendment, and, you can bet if the People and States are voting on it they’ll remove immunity from Congress.

This is just straight up lawfare. And an attempt at talking points, since it will never get a vote in the House. Though, it could be interesting if the House would take the bill and change it to specifically add on that Joe Biden is no immune for his time in office, and see how Democrats vote.
