Trump's attempts to exert control over the judiciary are a direct attack on the principle of separation of powers and the rule of law. His relentless attacks on judges and courts that rule against him undermine the independence of the judicial branch. We must take action to ensure Trump cannot pack the courts with loyalists or fire judges who disagree with his agenda. The judiciary serves as a vital check on executive overreach and must remain free from political interference. I urge you to support measures to protect the integrity and autonomy of the federal court system from Trump's authoritarian impulses. Failing to do so risks irreparable damage to our democratic institutions and the balance of powers.
