#JusticeCantWait : Don’t let the Supreme Court Shield Trump from accountability
DONALD TRUMP’S SUPREME COURT ALLIES ARE HELPING HIM RUN OUT THE CLOCK.
The Supreme Court can move quickly when it wants to. It took the Supreme Court 16 days after oral argument to rule in United States v. Nixon, 1 day after oral argument in Bush v. Gore, and 25 days after oral argument earlier this year to aid Trump in the Colorado ballot case.
How is it that many of the same Supreme Court Justices who ruled in one day to make George W. Bush president, are now dragging their feet in holding Trump accountable? Check this infographic to see how MAGA justices are delaying justice and destroying democracy.
SUPREME PAYBACK: Justices who made Bush president now help Trump’s campaign

Michael Waldman at the Brennan Center for Justice: “Voters have a right to know if they are being asked to elect someone who is guilty of the most serious crimes that a president could commit against democracy itself.”
Prof. Melissa Murray and Andrew Weissman in the New York Times: “Before Election Day 2024, if at all possible, voters should know if the facts of a case establish that one of the candidates engaged in an elaborate election-interference scheme in 2020.”
Common Cause’s Amicus Brief: “[T]his Court is at serious risk of being perceived as attempting to influence the 2024 election in favor of Mr. Trump. It should do everything possible now to avoid that impression, which would be highly detrimental to this Court’s reputation for neutrality and fairness. Time is of the essence.”
Leadership Now Project’s Amicus Brief: “Given the paramount public importance of this case in the context of the 2024 presidential election, a swift decision by the Court on narrow grounds is essential to avoid further delay in this case.”
No one is above the law
- Despite a total lack of legal precedent and universal rejection by lower courts, the MAGA Justices on the Supreme Court decided to hear Trump’s claims of absolute presidential immunity.
- 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 their voices.
- No court has ever recognized presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. Former presidents have never been allowed to engage in criminal conspiracies unpunished. — Freedom Over Fascism
TakeAway: Don’t let billionaires who stacked the Supreme Court with MAGA Justices steal another Presidential Election. Demand that the Supreme Court must rule by May 20!
