Friend,

The Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. United States created a “law-free
zone” around the presidency. It handed presidents – current or former –
criminal immunity for actions tied to their official duties, even if those
actions are illegal.

It’s a ruling that defies the Constitution, the rule of law, and centuries
of American democracy.

Thankfully Democratic Rep. Joe Morelle just reintroduced his Presidential
Accountability Amendment, with support from over 130 original cosponsors –
a powerful show of momentum to restore the principle that no one is above
the law.

justice under the law. >>

This amendment is clear:

* No officer of the United States, including the president, is above the
law
* Presidents cannot claim immunity just because they were performing
“official duties”
* Presidents cannot pardon themselves

It would reverse a ruling that invites a federal executive “unbound by the
constraints of the rule of law,” as Rep. Morelle put it. It would ensure
that criminal prosecutions can’t be blocked simply because the person
breaking the law held high office. And it would close any loophole that
lets a president use official power to shield subordinates from
accountability.

We’ve already seen what Trump does when he believes he can act with
impunity – and the Roberts Court just made that even easier.

This moment demands action. Not just to respond to the abuses we’ve
witnessed – but to prevent even worse ones in the future. This amendment
doesn’t rewrite the Constitution. It restores it.

Let’s be clear: Trump v. United States was a decision rooted in power, not
principle. But the Court does not get the last word. We do.

Thanks for speaking out,
