Team,
Yesterday the Supreme Court granted Donald Trump immunity
for “official acts” he took as president.
This decision is dangerous, anti-democratic, and unprecedented.
Trump promised that he would be a dictator on day one of a second
term. Now, if he gets the opportunity, that is exactly what he will
be.
Trump promised he would go after his political enemies, like those
on the January 6th Committee.
With their 6-3 decision in Trump v. United States, the
Court’s ultra-conservative justices just rolled out the red
carpet.
This
extremist Supreme Court, with a majority of its justices appointed by
Republican presidents who lost the popular vote, has issued a decision
that will live in infamy. It is now clear that defeating Trump at the
ballot box is our only way forward to save our democracy. Please rush

This shocking, destructive decision that Donald Trump will
have immunity for official acts validates the former
president’s attempts to undermine our democracy.
It flies in the face of our founding principles that no one, not
even the president, is above the law.
If our leaders can be immune from liability for criminal acts like
overturning the outcome of an election, it may be the end of our
republic.
It’s shameful, it’s dangerous, and the Court knows it.
This partisan Supreme Court just doesn’t care — and worse, the
extremist justices are actively empowering a president to be a
king.
Our country is in grave danger if we allow any president to stay in
power after losing and being held immune from consequences.
It is clearer than ever that the first and
last line of defense for our democracy is the ballot box, not
the courts.
This November, we must put an end to Trump’s dictatorial
ambitions once and for all. It’s up to all of us.
Please
chip in a split donation between Hold The Line and my campaign to help
me stop Trump and his partisan enablers on the Supreme Court from
seizing control over our democracy. There may never be a more
important election for the future of American democracy than the one
before us right now.
Thank you.
— Adam
