Dear John,
This Thursday, Trump’s lawyers will argue before the Supreme Court that presidents should be allowed to commit crimes. They have even claimed that a president could be immune from prosecution for having a political opponent assassinated.
Trump says anything less than total immunity would "incapacitate every future president." Baloney! It would incapacitate him! He’s the only president who's been criminally charged with a criminal conspiracy to overturn the will of American voters.
In today’s video, I explore Trump’s desire to turn the U.S. president into a supreme ruler, not bound by the same laws as everyone else. This is a fundamental threat to our democracy. After seeing the video, I hope you’ll share it with your friends.
We all know, a president shouldn’t be above the law. But the Supreme Court has allowed his January 6 trial to be put on hold while they entertain Trump’s outrageous claims.
We can only hope justice delayed will not be justice denied.
We, the American people, must know before casting our ballots whether or not we are voting for a felon.
