Friend,
For over five years, we've been
called hysterical, or worse, by those who keep insisting that Trump
can't possibly be as bad as we've been saying.
And yet, Trump keeps sabotaging our
economy, killing Americans with his murder budget, and dismantling the
justice system along with our Constitution.
Let us be clear about what today's
Supreme Court ruling means: Trump is going to strip
Americans of their citizenship.
In case you forgot, Trump has already deported 70,000
Americans and initiated hundreds of DENATURALIZATION cases in
court.
Today's decision is only going to
escalate Trump's fight to decide who is and isn't an American into an
all out Blitzkrieg. Here's what happens
next:
- Trump
finds a sycophant appeals court judge to declare that the constitution
doesn't provide birthright citizenship, in direct violation of the
14th Amendment.
- Trump
has masked ICE agents stuff any American whose citizenship he wants to
strip into unmarked cars and moves them into that judge's
district.
- Trump
begins denaturalizing Americans who have had American passports and
paid American taxes for years if not decades. Many may be left
stateless.
-
The only court who can step in and end
this clearly unconstitutional practice — seriously, go read the 14th
amendment — is the Supreme Court. And after today
what do you think they're going to do?
This is the opposite of checks and
balances. This is what the beginning of an oligarchy
looks like.
While the courts dither - how many more is Trump going to
deport?
America is not the place for this.
Government officials at every level need to be held accountable.
And that includes Donald Trump.
But, because the courts won’t do
it, we’re happy to step up to the plate. Help
us hold Trump accountable >>
