No one even thought to ask about it in the debate.

    Chuck Schumer introduced the ‘no kings act’ which, if passed into law, would:

    1. Reaffirm that president’s and vice president’s do not have immunity for actions that violate U.S. criminal law
    2. Remove the supreme court’s appellate jurisdiction for all actions challenging the constitutionality of this legislation (referring to the no kings act I believe)
    3. Establish additional jurisdiction and procedural guardrails. Allowing the United States to bring criminal action against a President or Vice President in any applicable district Court.

    I think this is a good stop gap and I will be emailing my senators and representative to support this bill

      They need the house and the senate for a start. Trump and Kamala are neck and neck and the stars are aligned for a GOP win. We are pushing uphill and everyone’s sitting on their laurels hoping it sorts itself out.
