To defuse the clickbait for what amounts to a long commercial for a law firm, the “five words” the title refers to is the Bivens act, a proposed law which would add the five words “of the United States or” to an existing law allowing people to seek recourse against State or Local officials for abuse of Constitutional rights, basically adding Federal officials to those State and Local constrained by the law. (This is my understanding as a layperson, I’m no lawyer and I’d appreciate any corrections.)
As a proposed law which has been floating around in Congress since 2024 and is effectively dead now, and which certainly doesn’t align with the fascist controlling party’s goals, it has approximately a snowball’s chance in hell of anything coming of it besides masturbatory videos like this making some chumps some change.
