Has Independence Day been cancelled yet?
‘We the people’ have a big problem with this rogue MAGA Extreme Court. Since when did ‘We the People’ anoint presidents as ‘above the law’ kings? We ran away from that king nonsense years ago and started this king-free country based on democracy, liberty and will of the people, remember?
Trump always bragged he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. His MAGA Supreme Court just made sure of it. The six corrupt conservative MAGA Extreme Court justices just tore up the Constitution in hopes their naked orange emperor could reign supreme, win the next presidential election and turn this country into an authoritarian white Christian nationalist, hateful revenge-seeking nuevo Nazi thing-a-ma-bob nation that punishes everybody they don’t understand or who doesn’t goose-step in line.

In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the Supreme Court’s historic immunity ruling left her with “fear for our democracy.”
“The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution,” she wrote. “Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.”

Now more than ever, America as we know it – or as we used to know it – is in jeopardy. ‘We the People’ need immunity from this sociopathic MAGA Supreme Court.
Vote. While we still can.
