TELL CONGRESS: We urge you to support the No Kings Act to preserve our democracy. Sign the petition: Tell Congress to overturn the right-wing Trump immunity ruling and pass the No Kings Act!

Hi,

ProPublica just uncovered that Ginni Thomas, Clarence Thomas’s wife, recently heaped praise on a far-right group fighting against Supreme Court reforms like the No Kings Act.1

It’s no surprise that Ginni Thomas is supporting conservative groups protecting the right-wing Court’s January 6 rulings. Ginni Thomas attended the January 6 Stop the Steal rally and pleaded with senior White House staff to help Trump overturn the election in the days leading up to the insurrection.2

Ginni Thomas and Donald Trump don’t want Congress to override the SCOTUS “absolute immunity” ruling, but Democrats are fighting to pass the No Kings Act to ensure that No One is Above the Law, not even former presidents.3

The extreme right-wing Supreme Court’s “absolute immunity” ruling could still let Trump off the hook in all of his criminal proceedings. It’s a case where Clarence Thomas had a clear conflict of interest because of his wife’s involvement in January 6, but he ruled anyway. If there were real Supreme Court reforms in place, Clarence Thomas would have been forced to recuse himself. Of course, Ginni Thomas wants to block these reforms.

Democrats put forward the No Kings Act to invalidate the “absolute immunity” ruling. The bill would assert that, despite what Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch said in their extreme majority opinion, presidents do NOT have immunity for criminal actions.4

Congress must act now, override this dangerous SCOTUS ruling, and protect American democracy.

Sign the petition: Tell Congress to overturn the disastrous right-wing SCOTUS decision to give American presidents absolute immunity by passing Senator Schumer’s No Kings Act.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
