NEW: Jamie Raskin’s Stunning Plot To Keep Trump From Power Is Revealed

Top Democrats are fuming after the Supreme Court’s ruling expanding presidential immunity — a decision that protected former President Trump from further potential legal battles. Now, they’re scrambling to find ways to clip his wings. Leading the charge is Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who’s teaming up with former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) and a bipartisan coalition.

They’re pushing lawmakers to sign on to a “No Dictators Declaration” aimed at reining in the powers of the Oval Office, particularly following the Court’s decision that grants Trump and other ex-presidents broad immunity from prosecution. At a press conference on Monday, Raskin emphasized the role of Congress in safeguarding constitutional freedoms.

“It is up to Congress, the representative branch of the people, to defend the constitutional order against presidents who would trample the freedoms of the people,” Raskin said with former GOP Rep. Walsh by his side. Raskin further clarified the purpose of their bipartisan initiative, saying, “This declaration is about protecting the freedoms of the people by closing statutory loopholes that could allow a president to exploit the executive power to trample constitutional freedom and liberty.”

The Supreme Court case involving former President Trump was the targeted efforts by Special Counsel Jack Smith and Democratic adversaries to challenge the actions of the ex-president and his team, who have been accused of attempting to change perceived irregularities in the 2020 election results. In a ruling this July, the Supreme Court affirmed that former presidents are largely shielded from criminal prosecution, recognizing the immunity of executives for actions within their core constitutional duties, with a general presumption of immunity for other official acts.

While private actions can still face legal scrutiny, the Court’s conservative majority rightly recognized the broad protections necessary for presidential duties, tasking lower courts with clarifying these protections. Following this ruling, Smith escalated his prosecutorial overreach by updating the indictment against Trump, despite the Supreme Court’s clear mandate safeguarding the office of the presidency from partisan legal challenges.

“It’s got five main pillars to it – one, limiting the president’s power to declare bogus domestic and foreign emergencies to seize power and bypass congressional authority. Two, restricting the president’s ability to use the Insurrection Act to deploy the military domestically against the people,” Raskin said of the legislation. “Three – preventing the adoption of partisan, personal and ideological loyalty tests, loyalty oaths and similar authoritarian measures designed to purge the professional civil service, and replace qualified workers with unqualified party loyalists and sycophants. Four, ensuring that presidents who abuse their powers to commit crimes can be prosecuted like all other citizens. Because no one is above the law in America, and those of us who aspire and attain to public office are nothing but the servants of the people.”

Raskin finished, “And fifth, constraining the president’s ability to use investigative and prosecutorial decisions and resources to pursue personal political vendettas against disfavored groups and perceived enemies of the president.” The declaration, supported by left-wing groups like the ACLU and the conservative-leaning Principles First, seeks to impose new restrictions on a president’s ability to declare national emergencies, use military force, or require loyalty from government officials.

Trump supporters have been pushing back hard. They argue the Supreme Court’s ruling is a critical step in protecting the presidency from politically motivated attacks. To them, this is just the latest attempt by Democrats to weaponize the system against Trump, keeping him in their sights even after leaving office.

“I hope that when we get back in, that we will be able to have at least a couple of serious hearings about the problem of overreach in the executive branch and weakness to potential tyrants and despots and dictators,” Raskin said when Fox News reached out for comment. “I hope that those hearings would lead us to create a legislative package to address these structural deficiencies in our statutory system. I would hope that Republicans would come along.”
