U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., long known for his intolerance of U.S. Supreme Court decisions, now has announced a scheme to subvert its recent ruling on presidential immunity.
Schumer says he wants Congress simply to designate actions by President Donald Trump as “unofficial” so he could face whatever charges Democrat prosecutors would want to bring.
The immunity fight was prompted by Democrats’ lawfare against Trump, their multiple civil and criminal legal cases that often are based on the flimsiest of grounds.
The high court’s ruling was fundamental. It said that for official acts that are part of his constitutional duties, the president has absolute immunity, for some other acts he has presumed immunity, and for private actions, no immunity.
