TRUMP’S HAND-PICKED SUPERMAJORITY: IF TRUMP DOES IT, IT ISN’T ILLEGAL

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (July 1, 2024) – Minutes ago, Donald Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court supermajority released an unprecedented ruling in Trump v. U.S. and declared that the former president is immune from prosecution for any “official” criminal acts committed while in office.

“When Trump and McConnell packed the court, this was the moment they anticipated. Now, their hand-picked supermajority has returned the ultimate favor,” said Sarah Lipton-Lubet, president of Take Back the Court Action Fund. “I never want to hear someone say again that this court is interpreting law and history. After years of grabbing more and more power for itself, the Roberts Court just declared an end to American democracy as we know it. Congress needs to act immediately to rein in these rogue Republican operatives who have hijacked our judiciary for their party’s own benefit. The very future of this republic depends on it.”
