Schumer is pushing for a law. I thought legislation was supposed to originate in the house. See my tagline.

As for Pelosi, it’s a damned shame when a member of congress suggests “justice” be found somewhere other than the “justice system”.

Only legislation that is for raising revenue. The Supreme Court construes this very narrowly, so that legislation including fees and fines are not counted as "for raising revenue."
