Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatened to bring articles of impeachment against the Supreme Court after a ruling that said a president has absolute immunity from prosecution. Ocasio-Cortez claimed the ruling represents an "assault on American democracy" and that Congress must defend the nation from this "authoritarian capture." Other Democrats, like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, criticized the ruling and said it sets a "dangerous precedent." The court's ruling did not determine if any of Trump's alleged actions fell under his constitutional powers, leaving that to lower courts.
