JUSTICE CAN'T WAIT

Most of us believe that voters pick our leaders and deserve to know whether someone running in this election is guilty of a criminal conspiracy to overthrow our last one.

This is why the Supreme Court must issue a verdict by May 20th, allowing sufficient time for Trump’s 2020 election insurrection trial to conclude before we cast our ballots. 

But the MAGA Justices on the Supreme Court are delivering for the billionaires who bought them -  delaying Trump’s criminal trial for attempted insurrection because they fear what will happen when voters know the truth. 

Despite total lack of legal precedent and universal rejection by lower courts, the MAGA Justices on the Supreme Court have decided to hear Trump’s claims of absolute presidential immunity in order to help him seize power so they can enact an agenda by, of and for the billionaires that landed them their Supreme Court seats.

By agreeing to entertain the fiction that presidents are free to commit crimes, these justices are further delaying voters' most basic right: to have a ruling on and justice for the criminal conspiracy to silence our voices.

The very Supreme Court Justices caught taking gifts from their backers without facing consequences want to keep Trump from facing the consequences of his efforts to spread lies, sow division and seed the deadly January 6th attack on America.

Clarence Thomas, in particular, must recuse himself as his own wife had a key role in this attack. 

The Supreme Court has ruled in critical cases, especially about electoral concerns, with extraordinary speed before; they can and must rule on immunity by May 20th to allow sufficient time for a jury of everyday Americans to reach a verdict in Trump’s 2020 election insurrection trial before voters must reach our own verdict in this year’s election. 

We will not allow justice delayed to become democracy destroyed.
