Hi,

Federal prosecutors continue to make the case that Trump should be tried
for his involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Trump is arguing that the Supreme Court’s extreme “absolute immunity”
ruling protects him from accountability.

But new evidence unsealed in Trump’s January 6 case^1 is further proof
that no one should be above the law in America.

To make sure Trump is held accountable, Democrats put forward legislation
called the No Kings Act to invalidate the “absolute immunity” ruling. The
bill would assert that, despite the right-wing majority opinion on SCOTUS,
presidents do NOT have immunity for criminal actions.^2

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said recently, “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.”^3 And that’s exactly why
Leader Schumer introduced the No Kings Act — to override this dangerous
SCOTUS ruling and protect American democracy.

There is no end to the shocking revelations related to Trump and January
6. New evidence released just a few weeks ago included statements Trump
made in the aftermath of the 2020 election like, “It doesn’t matter if you
won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell.”^4

Congress can’t allow the right-wing majority on the Supreme Court to let
Trump off the hook.

SCOTUS decision to give American presidents absolute immunity by passing
Senator Schumer’s No Kings Act.
