Tell Congress: No One Is Above the Law
The Supreme Court’s dangerous presidential immunity ruling goes against accountability, the rule of law, and our Constitution.
Congress must pass Rep. Morelle’s constitutional amendment to permanently declare that no American is above the law – not even former presidents – and prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves.
So much has happened recently that it’s easy to forget that the Supreme Court has essentially given former and future presidents near-total immunity for any crimes they commit in office.
In order to shield presidents from accountability, the Supreme Court further damaged its reputation and newly emboldened the forces behind the January 6th insurrection to conspire against any future election that doesn’t go their way.
That’s no way for a democracy to function – and if we don’t act quickly to reverse that ruling, the consequences will stick with us and our children indefinitely.
But here’s some great news: with Common Cause’s support, Rep. Joe Morelle introduced a constitutional amendment that will permanently declare that no American is above the law – not even former presidents – and prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves.
As President Biden emphasized, this is a chance to right the Supreme Court’s wrong. Add your name in support of the No One Is Above the Law Amendment today.
