Following the MAGA Supreme Court’s disastrous immunity ruling:
I’m introducing the No Kings Act.
This bill would reaffirm that the President is not immune to legal accountability and remove the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction to hear appeals related to presidential immunity.

The Founders were explicit: no man in America shall be a king.
But the MAGA Supreme Court threw out centuries of precedent and anointed Trump and subsequent presidents as kings above the law.
That’s why I’m introducing the No Kings Act to crack down on this dangerous precedent.

Chuck seems to think Trump is going to win.
So I guess he’s going to… cancel the Supreme Court?
Didn’t realize Congress could do that, but okay.
Chuck Schumer will introduce 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.
“With this glaring and partisan overreach, Congress has an obligation – and a constitutional authority – to act as a check and balance to the judicial branch.”
The bill would stipulate that Congress, rather than the supreme court, has the authority to determine to whom federal criminal laws are applied.
This seems like silliness.
Everything just seems fake and retarded and boring and like a big distraction.
I propose Supreme Court Justices be required to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity, and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have conflicts of interest.
The Court is not self-policing.
So, it’s time for a mandatory Code of Conduct.
