BREAKING: Trump was just indicted for a fifth time – add your name to help us ensure NO president is above the law >>
John, Donald Trump was just indicted again for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election – with a new grand jury charging him again with the same heinous crimes he was accused of in his previous indictment. [1]
This is now the fifth grand jury to criminally charge the former president – a shameful milestone for our nation, but one that was absolutely necessary to push back against the Supreme Court’s dangerous immunity ruling and uphold a simple principle: Nobody is above the law.
With your help, Common Cause is leading the charge to pass a constitutional amendment declaring that NO American is above the law. Help us right the Supreme Court’s wrong by adding your name today >>
John, you may be wondering what this indictment means in light of the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision to grant presidents immunity for criminal acts committed in office.
But that ruling only covered so-called “official acts” – and this new indictment argues that what he’s being charged for, including conspiracy to defraud the United States and overturn the results of the 2020 election, doesn’t fit that bill. [1]
That means we now have a fresh chance to finally hold the former president accountable for his attempt to overthrow American democracy.
Even still, the Supreme Court’s decision to cover for Donald Trump means that the American people won’t have any official verdict on his incitement of the January 6th attack before they vote this year, and that’s a travesty of justice.
That’s why, with Common Cause’s support, Rep. Joe Morelle introduced a constitutional amendment that will permanently declare that no American is above the law – not even former presidents – and prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves. [2]
Our country can be better than this – and with your help, we will be. Will you add your name in support of the No One Is Above the Law Amendment today?
We must ensure no president – past, present, or future – is able to avoid accountability and the rule of law. I hope you’ll join us in taking action today, John.
Thanks for all you do,
Virginia Kase Solomón, President and CEO
and the team at Common Cause
