BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sends shockwaves through MAGA world by formally introducing legislation to strip away Donald Trump's broad "presidential immunity."
And it gets even better...
The aptly named "No Kings Act" was introduced by Schumer and 34 Senate Democrats to undo the damage inflicted by the corrupt Republican-controlled Supreme Court's decision to grant presidents immunity for "official acts."
The bill would clarify and codify the law so that presidents and vice presidents are not immune to prosecution for violating federal criminal law.
Better still, it would bar the Supreme Court's ability to hear challenges to the constitutionality of the new law, funneling such challenges to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals instead.
"The Founders were explicit – no man in America shall be a king. Yet, in their disastrous decision, the Supreme Court threw out centuries of precedent and anointed Trump and subsequent presidents as kings above the law," said Schumer.
"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," he added.
While the legislation will likely not achieve the 60 vote threshold necessary to pass, introducing it sends a powerful message to the American people. Democrats stand for democracy, Republicans stand for monarchy.
If we want this bill made law, we have to vote blue and hand Democrats a stronger majority in the Senate and make sure that they seize control of the House this November.
The future is in our hands. Vote blue, save America!

We are all imperfect. Our nation is imperfect. But watching the funeral of John McCain, hearing eulogies touch on America's highest ideals, the patriotic songs that gird us in times of sorrow and joy, I am touched by what the United States was, is, and yet may be. #WhatUnitesUs
