After the Supreme Court announced Monday morning that Donald Trump is, at least in part, protected from prosecution thanks to presidential immunity, prominent Democrats unloaded on X.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called it a “sad day” for the country.

“This is a sad day for America and a sad day for our democracy,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., wrote on X. “The very basis of our judicial system is that no one is above the law.”

“Treason or incitement of an insurrection should not be considered a core constitutional power afforded to a president,” he continued.

Sqaud Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is talking about impeachment.

“The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return,” Ocasio-Cortez said on X.

Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) said, “This Court has lost all credibility—made painfully clear by the fact that Justice Thomas and Justice Alito refused to recuse themselves from this case despite their glaring lack of impartiality.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says the ruling sets a “dangerous precedent.”

Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said, “The extreme right-wing Supreme Court just drastically weakened accountability if a president attempts to use their office for criminal purposes. It’s a disastrous ruling that could have grave effects on our democracy.”

Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal called the conservative justices “partisan hacks.”
