Immunity ruling shows ‘MAGA justices’ are corrupt

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 the last one. The Supreme Court just announced Trump is entitled to some immunity from prosecution, further delaying the Jan. 6 insurrection case.
These justices have proven their only allegiance is to the billionaires who propelled them to power.
Trump and MAGA Republicans continue to endanger our country and harm our lives and livelihoods by deliberately spreading lies, breaking laws, and encouraging violence.
The MAGA justices on the Supreme Court are now trying to take away our freedom to elect our own leaders. They delayed justice for Trump’s criminal conspiracy to overthrow our elections because they hope to hand him the power to rule over, not represent, us and to appoint new justices when they retire.
The MAGA justices on the Supreme Court continue to delay Trump’s criminal trial for attempted insurrection because they fear what will happen when voters know the truth.
Our next president and Senate may appoint up to three people to this highest court, setting the course for our freedoms, our families and our futures for generations. Much is at stake this November; the American people must deliver the judgment these corrupt justices have denied us, and elect leaders who will appoint justices that respect our rights and protect our freedoms.
