Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, on Monday blasted the so-called “MAGA SCOTUS” after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in former President Donald Trump’s favor in his Jan. 6 challenge to prosecutors.
President Trump is being indicted in Washington, DC, by Special Counsel Jack Smith in connection with his actions when rioters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. President Trump has argued that he cannot be prosecuted for acts done in the course of his official duties.
As Breitbart News reported, the Supreme Court ruled that the president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for his official acts, but not for his non-official acts, and sent the case back to the bench to determine the distinction.
Schumer led Democrats in outrage over the 6-3 election result. decisionIn the 2016 Supreme Court, the conservative majority was led by Chief Justice John Roberts. In a post on Twitter, Schumer criticized three justices appointed by President Trump.
This disgraceful decision by the MAGA SCOTUS, comprised of three justices appointed by President Trump himself, allows a former president to break the law and undermine our democracy.
This undermines the credibility of the Supreme Court and suggests that political influence prevails above all else in today’s courts. https://t.co/wCNI42U5Ki

Schumer has a history of trying to intimidate Supreme Court justices, most notably in 2020, when he threatened two newly appointed justices that they would “pay a price” if they tried to overturn his decisions. Roe v. WadeThey later did just that.
