Last week:

We launched a major new campaign for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s profoundly misguided ruling in Donald Trump’s immunity case, which in effect gives U.S. presidents sweeping power to break the law with impunity.

This week:

President Biden AND Vice President Kamala Harris called for substantive reform at the Supreme Court, including an amendment.

Is winning a constitutional amendment an ambitious undertaking?

Yes.

It’s not supposed to be easy.

It won’t be easy.

And it may take many years.

But because of the way the Supreme Court ruled in Trump’s immunity case, changing the Constitution is the only way to overturn the ruling.

If it won’t be easy, if it could take a long time, that is all the more reason to start fighting for it right now.

Right.

Now.

Step One is getting as many members of Congress as possible to support the amendment.

You’re going to hear from us about this a lot. And Congress needs to hear from the American people again and again, for as long as it takes. So please take action today even if you might have taken action before.

To Every Member of Congress:

We urge you to support the constitutional amendment introduced by Rep. Joe Morelle that would overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous ruling in Donald Trump’s immunity case. If you are already a co-sponsor, please do whatever you can to influence your colleagues to support the amendment so that we can reestablish the longstanding, fundamental principle that no one — not even the president of the United States — is above the law.

Thanks for taking action.

For democracy,
