The proceeding was a legal technicality whereby the court relied on the Supreme Court’s 1967, stating that presidents cannot be sued in civil cases while in office.

The prosecution has maintained that no one is above the law and that presidents can be held accountable for their alleged crimes. Understanding what constitutes an official presidential action and what does not is made more difficult by this Supreme Court decision, which was decided 6-3 on party lines.

He continued: “However, the decision is believed to be an attack on American democracy. Congress must protect our country from this totalitarian takeover. When we go back, I want to file articles of impeachment.”

Impeachment Threats

Essentially, following this ruling, several Democrat lawmakers vowed to impeach the Supreme Court justices. This is a monumental action since impeachment is usually used only against federal judges for certain conduct or power abuses.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said, “The Supreme Court ruling was an inadmissible step toward the degradation of our constitutional precepts and an erosion of our democracy. ”

A Threat to Accountability

Most legal analysts are referring to this as a landmark incident in America. Additionally, asserting that it is a major degradation of the checks and balances of power.

Democrats Reaction

Significant Democrats in Congress have also issued remarks expressing their opinions on this decision. However many of them stopped short of proposing articles of impeachment, similar to what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did.

The threat of impeachment is genuine but genuine, this threat emphasizes the need to act to protect democracy. The implications are profound, yet to miss this opportunity is a luxury that we cannot afford.
