“It doesn’t matter if you won or lost. You still have to fight like hell.”
That’s what Donald Trump reportedly said — to his wife, his daughter Ivanka, and
his son-in-law — sometime after the 2020 election.
Let that sink in.
Trump was admitting that he would attempt to remain in power even if he knew he lost the election.
This is just one of the damning details revealed to the American people last
week when the latest court filing from special counsel Jack Smith was unsealed.
The 165-page document is overflowing with explosive new evidence of numerous
crimes committed by Trump to remain in power despite losing the election.
Yet Donald Trump may never face accountability.
In large part because the U.S. Supreme Court — with its absurd ruling earlier
this year in Trump’s immunity case — has in effect given U.S. presidents
sweeping power to break the law with impunity.
We simply cannot let this stand.
* No president should have anything close to the kind of immunity the Supreme
Court has conferred on the office. Not Donald Trump. Not Joe Biden. Not
Kamala Harris. Not anyone who holds the office. Not ever.
* So the American people have a choice to make — a choice that could not be
more critical. Do we consent to be subjects of a de facto dictator, or do we fight to overturn the Supreme Court’s preposterous
immunity ruling and to restore the foundational principle that no one is
above the law?
* It’s obvious: We have to overturn this ruling. And the most surefire way to
do that is with a constitutional amendment. Winning a constitutional
amendment won’t be easy. It’s not supposed to be easy. That doesn’t mean we
shouldn’t try.
And the first step is getting as many people as possible to join together in
calling for a constitutional amendment that would overturn the Supreme Court’s
immunity ruling and restore the foundational principle that no one — including
any U.S. president — is above the law.
Add your name now in support of a constitutional amendment that would overturn
the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling and restore the foundational principle that
no one — including any U.S. president — is above the law.

Take action today even if you’ve taken action before. Constitutional amendments
don’t happen overnight. We have to keep building momentum — day after day, month
after month, year after year — for as long as it takes.
