Hi,

Trump’s lawyers are still trying to get charges dropped against the former
president for his involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election
results.^1

Trump’s push to delay and dismiss charges against him has been bolstered
by the right-wing Supreme Court’s “absolute immunity” ruling.

But no one is above the law. That’s why Congress must pass the No Kings
Act to invalidate the extreme “absolute immunity” ruling and ensure
presidents are held accountable for criminal actions!

The ruling in the Trump immunity case never should’ve happened like it
did. Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito both had glaring conflicts of
interest in the case. They should’ve recused themselves.

Clarence Thomas’s wife, 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

And a Stop the Steal style flag was flying above Alito’s house during
critical 2020 election cases.^3

But the ruling, orchestrated in large part by John Roberts, gives
dangerous, unlimited powers to American presidents. 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.^4

Democrats are pushing the No Kings Act to override this dangerous SCOTUS
ruling, protect American democracy, and ensure our leaders can be held
accountable.
