Note about phrasing
Instead of saying that the bill "denies retroactive immunity" can we see the bill "upholds the rights of citizens to seek redress in court for major violations of the law" or something like that?
The phrasing of "denies" makes it sound like retroactive immunity is the norm and that Democrats are restricing some existing rights. Typically denying things has a negative connotation.
Republicans want to deny citizens their rights to use the jsutice system as intended and deny justice to the wronged. Democrats aren't denying anything, they are upholding basic American values.
