Washington, D.C. — This morning, Indivisible Co-Executive Director Ezra Levin released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. United States
“We no longer have a real Supreme Court. We have a MAGA institution that runs defense for Trump and unilaterally writes laws against the will of the people. These partisan hacks in robes just threw the Constitution out the window and handed a huge win to their convicted felon presidential candidate. This is the most blatantly partisan and constitutionally unfounded act by this court since they handed the presidency to George W. Bush. It is a drastic departure from previous understandings of immunity -- a favor done by MAGA justices, for a MAGA president.
“We need Democratic leaders in Washington to act immediately to rein in this court. But we also need to be clear that the only long-term solutions are more justices appointed by a Democratic president, and reform achieved through a Democratic congress. We cannot afford to give Republicans another four years of shaping this body. We have justices who have admitted to being Christian nationalists, who’ve supported Trump’s insurrection, who’ve accepted massive corporate bribes from billionaires with business before the court-- and that’s just what we know from media investigations. The Supreme Court of today is fully an arm of the Republican Party, and the only remedy in our hands is an electoral defeat for that party
“All the alarm bells are ringing. The time is now.”
