TELL CONGRESS: Trump is still trying to get his criminal cases thrown out, citing the Supreme Court’s extreme “absolute immunity” ruling. But Congress can invalidate the Court’s dangerous, anti-democratic decision with new legislation. Sign the petition: Pass the No Kings Act!

Hi,

Federal authorities argued this week that Donald Trump should NOT be immune from prosecution for his role in January 6 — despite the Supreme Court’s extreme “absolute immunity” ruling.1

Unsealed documents at the hearing revealed stunning evidence to the public, including many statements Trump made in the aftermath of the 2020 election. “It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell,” Trump said after his loss.2

No one is above the law, and Trump must be held accountable for his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election results. That’s why Democrats introduced the No Kings Act — to invalidate the SCOTUS Trump immunity ruling and ensure presidents cannot escape prosecution for crimes.

Trump’s lawyers are still trying to get charges dropped against the former president.3

The extreme SCOTUS 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.

Sign the petition: Tell Congress to overturn the extreme Trump immunity ruling and pass the No Kings Act!

Thanks for taking action,
