End Citizens United // Let America Vote (ECU // LAV) Action Fund President Tiffany Muller issued the following statement praising Majority Leader Schumer’s introduction of the No Kings Act:
“By radically expanding the doctrine of presidential immunity, the Supreme Court shattered centuries of precedent and the foundational principle that no one is above the law. That reckless decision put our country on a dangerous path to authoritarian rule.
“Majority Leader Schumer’s No Kings Act is a necessary and critical countermeasure to the Supreme Court’s decision, which was intended to insulate Donald Trump from accountability for his own actions. Our democracy depends on holding those in power accountable and this legislation will restore that standard. It is incumbent upon Congress to serve as a check and balance to the other two branches of government.
“We thank Majority Leader Schumer for his continued leadership and commitment to safeguarding our democracy. We urge all Republican Senators to put their partisanship aside and support this commonsense, nonpartisan bill.”
