"Issued by justices who've thrown impartiality & ethics overboard has changed the structure of our Const. The adage “no one is above the law” no longer applies to the pres. In our const. system, the pres. was never intended to be a king -entire rationale for the Rev. War. & yet, coming 3 days before July 4th, the SC granted sweeping immunity to the executive. The damage the court has wrought to the very fabric of our #democracy is profound."

There’s no question that America would become like Russia, unless Republicans are stopped. #GOPCorruptionhttps://apnews.com/article/trump-tax-losses-audit-election-chicago-skyscraper-47729a0758e6b54aa06c075fc49c5c53
