The recent Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. United States poses a grave threat to the foundational principle that no one is above the law. By granting former presidents expansive immunity from criminal prosecution, even for actions outside their constitutional duties, the Court has undermined a core tenet of our democracy and system of government. This decision reshapes the presidency in an alarming and unacceptable way. Fortunately, Senate Democrats have responded with the No Kings Act, which affirms that presidents have no special immunity from the law. This legislation restores the vital notion that the president is bound by the law like any other citizen. It recognizes that unchecked presidential power is antithetical to the constitutional order and democratic values the nation was founded upon. What's more, the No Kings Act denies the Supreme Court jurisdiction over constitutional challenges to the law. Given the Court's rogue decision granting expansive presidential immunity, Congress is right to question judicial supremacy on this issue and provide its own constitutional interpretation binding the president to the rule of law. I urge you to support the No Kings Act. When a co-equal branch like the Supreme Court subverts core constitutional principles, Congress must act decisively to uphold the nation's founding ideals of liberty, equality, and accountability for all. No one can be a king in America.
