This decision is dangerous, anti-democratic, and unprecedented. Trump promised that he would be a dictator on day one of a second term. Now, if he gets the opportunity, that is exactly what he will be. Trump promised he would go after his political enemies, like those on the January 6th Committee. With their 6-3 decision in Trump v. United States, the Court’s ultra-conservative justices just rolled out the red carpet. [This extremist Supreme Court, with a majority of its justices appointed by Republican presidents who lost the popular vote, has issued a decision that will live in infamy. It is now clear that defeating Trump at the ballot box is our only way forward to save our democracy.

It flies in the face of our founding principles that no one, not even the president, is above the law. If our leaders can be immune from liability for criminal acts like overturning the outcome of an election, it may be the end of our republic. It’s shameful, it’s dangerous, and the Court knows it. This partisan Supreme Court just doesn’t care — and worse, the extremist justices are actively empowering a president to be a king. Our country is in grave danger if we allow any president to stay in power after losing and being held immune from consequences. It is clearer than ever that the first and last line of defense for our democracy is the ballot box, not the courts. This November, we must put an end to Trump’s dictatorial ambitions once and for all. It’s up to all of us. [Please chip in a split donation between my campaign to help me stop Trump and his partisan enablers on the Supreme Court from seizing control over our democracy and Fight for Reform to help elect state and local level Democrats. There may never be a more important election for the future of American democracy than the one before us right now.]( Thank you. — Adam Adam Schiff is only asking for contributions of up to $5,000 from individuals, federal PACs, and other federally permissible sources for End Citizens United-Nonfederal.
