Following the Supreme Court's ruling today in Trump v. United States, Lawyers for Good Government’s Vice President of Engagement Sterling Howard released the following statement:

“Today’s decision by the Supreme Court's conservative majority marks a deeply troubling moment in our nation's history. By granting unprecedented immunity to former President Trump, the Court has undermined a core principle of our Constitution: that no person is above the law. As Justice Sotomayor aptly noted, this ruling 'makes a mockery of the principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of Government, that no man is above the law.’

The Court's decision effectively shields Trump from accountability for his actions to subvert the democratic process, delaying justice and eroding public trust in our legal system. This ruling contradicts the values upon which our nation was founded and endangers the very fabric of our democracy.

As defenders of justice, we must respond to this alarming decision by reaffirming our commitment to the rule of law and ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their position, are held accountable for their actions. Our democracy depends on it.

We reject any agenda that threatens our democratic principles. The fight for equal justice under the law continues, and we remain steadfast in our mission to protect the rights and freedoms of all people.”
