Hi,

A New York Times report just dropped detailing how Chief Justice John
Roberts worked behind the scenes to secure the extreme right-wing Trump
immunity ruling. The Times concludes that Roberts engineered “Trump’s
Supreme Court winning streak.”^1

The dangerous “absolute immunity” ruling from Roberts, Clarence Thomas,
Samuel Alito, and the other conservatives on SCOTUS could let Trump off
the hook in all of his criminal charges.

Democrats in Congress are fighting back to preserve democracy and free and
fair elections with the No Kings Act. This legislation would invalidate
the extreme Trump immunity ruling and say clearly that presidents do NOT
have immunity for criminal actions.^2

anti-democratic Supreme Court rulings. Pass the No Kings Act!

The No Kings Act would make clear that No One is Above the Law, not even
current and former presidents of the United States. In a democracy, the
people must be able to hold its leaders accountable.

In her dissenting opinion on the absolute immunity ruling, Justice Sonia
Sotomayor wrote, "In every use of official power, the president is now a
king above the law." She added that she feared for our democracy.^3

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “The Founders were explicit – no man
in America shall be a king. Yet, in their disastrous decision, the Supreme
Court threw out centuries of precedent and anointed Trump and subsequent
presidents as kings above the law.”^4 And that’s exactly why Schumer
introduced the No Kings Act — to override this dangerous SCOTUS ruling and
protect American democracy.

SCOTUS decision to give American presidents absolute immunity by passing
Senator Schumer’s No Kings Act.
