Can you help spread word of the No Kings Act?
Absolutely!
The No Kings Act was proposed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in response to the right-wing Supreme Court’s ruling to provide Trump with “absolute immunity.”
This ruling would let Trump off the hook for any and all his criminal charges, making him a “king” above the law.
The No Kings Act would invalidate this ruling by saying the president of the United States does not have immunity for criminal actions. This legislation is necessary to preserve democracy by holding its offenders accountable.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “The founders were explicit - no man in America shall be a king.”
In her dissenting opinion on the absolute immunity ruling, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, "In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law." She added that she feared for our democracy.
Furthermore, President Biden has proposed an amendment to the Constitution to declare that “no one is above the law.”
Passing a constitutional amendment is difficult, it must be passed by two-thirds (2/3) of both houses of Congress as well as ratified by three-fourths (3/4) of state legislators, but it can be done with collective organizing and support.
