They’re threatening to arrest Supreme Court justices

 



First, House Republicans passed a bill to strip federal district judges of the power to block Donald Trump's most blatantly illegal executive actions.1

Then the FBI arrested a county judge in Wisconsin for defying Trump's wishes in court. And last week White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refused to rule out the possibility that Supreme Court justices could be arrested next.2

It's all part of a coordinated attack on the judiciary in order to sweep away any remaining limits on Trump's power.

Demand Progress is mobilizing tens of thousands of people to stop the so-called No Rogue Rulings Act and defend the independent judiciary. The Act is now going to the Senate for a vote, and we need to make more noise than ever.

Since the moment Donald Trump was sworn in, he's been on an illegal and unconstitutional rampage.

The one meaningful thing standing in his way so far has been the federal judiciary.

But if the so-called No Rogue Rulings Act passes the Senate and is signed into law, even that check on his power would be removed. It's absolutely chilling.

This is not a partisan issue. Both Democratic and Republican presidents have been held in check by federal court injunctions. It's absolutely fundamental to the system of checks and balances at the core of our system of government.

Demand Progress is sounding the alarm and flooding Capitol Hill with petition signatures to help stop the No Rogue Rulings Act, and we're counting on your help to ensure we have the resources we need to win.

This is a fight that we absolutely cannot afford to lose. Will you donate $20 to help support our work, including our efforts to stop Trump's attack on the federal judiciary?

With gratitude,

The team at Demand Progress Action
