Last week, a panel of appeals judges ruled unanimously that Donald Trump does not have immunity from prosecution for criminal charges stemming from his attempts to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election.

That panel, by the way, includes judges appointed by both Democratic and Republican presidents.

Earlier this week, Trump’s lawyers filed a motion asking the Supreme Court to put the trial on hold while he slow-walks further appeals.

Keep in mind that when Trump was making his case at the appeals court, his lawyers stated — with a straight face — that the former president would be immune from criminal prosecution even if he ordered the military to assassinate a political rival.

Add your name if you agree:

Donald Trump’s claim of immunity is contrary to law, morality, and plain old common sense. The case against Trump should go forward without further delay.

Thanks for taking action.
