THIS WEEK: SCOTUS decision makes Trump immune from prosecution in federal election case

John, earlier this week the Supreme Court sided with President Trump, ruling that presidents cannot be held criminally liable for official actions of the government. 

In other words, the Court just handed Trump, and future presidents, a get out of jail free card. 

Now, the president can claim immunity for “official acts” and get off scot-free. Justice Sonia Sotomayor best laid out the stakes in her dissent:

"Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune… With fear for our democracy, I dissent."
-Justice Sonia Sotomayor

With the chances of a second Trump term a real possibility, and an unhinged Supreme Court ready and willing to enable his egregious behavior, it’s never been more important to have elect democracy defenders who will uphold the rule of law. 

Our democracy is facing multiple crises and we need all the  resources we can get to fight back. Can you chip in right now to help Democratic Secretaries of State fight for our free and fair elections?
