"With fear for our democracy, I dissent."

Justice Sotomayor offers a chilling warning with her scathing dissent on Trump v.

Here’s why: This decision is terrifying, undermines the rule of law in our nation, and raises the stakes of this election even higher than before. Don’t just take it from us -- Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissenting opinion makes clear that American democracy as we know it is on the line. She wrote, “With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” [It’s easy to feel hopeless in moments like this, but there’s something you can do to fight back, to dissent. You can help make sure Donald Trump never steps foot in the White again by making your first contribution to President Biden’s reelection campaign.

Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.” - “In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.” - “A President’s use of any official power for any purpose, even the most corrupt, is immune from prosecution. That is just as bad as it sounds, and it is baseless.” We know who Trump is and what he’s capable of -- and this decision gives him the legal license to do essentially whatever he wants if he returns to the White House. That’s why reelecting President Biden has never been more important to the future of our democracy than it is right now.
