Jim Jordan calls on left to ‘uphold democratic norms’ after Trump immunity decision
Jordan also chairs the House Judiciary’s select subcommittee on government weaponization, a panel created in response to Republican concerns about government prosecutors and agencies — including those involved in Trump-related cases — improperly targeting political opponents.
In contrast to Jordan’s statement, Democrats — who have long raised alarm about Trump breaking democratic norms regarding the peaceful transfer of power — worried that the decision would enable more breaking of democratic norms.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement that the decision marked “a sad day for America and a sad day for our democracy.”
“The very basis of our judicial system is that no one is above the law. Treason or incitement of insurrection should not be considered a core constitutional power afforded to a president,” Schumer said.
