I am writing to express my alarm over recent reports that former President Donald Trump has refused to comply with orders from the Supreme Court. This kind of behavior deeply undermines the constitutional balance between branches of government. No president, regardless of party, should be allowed to ignore the authority of the judiciary. To prevent future violations of this kind, I encourage you to support legislation that reinforces the obligation of the executive branch to comply with judicial rulings. This could include creating automatic enforcement procedures for Supreme Court decisions, establishing meaningful legal consequences for willful defiance by any public official, and empowering independent oversight mechanisms that can step in when the executive branch refuses to act within legal bounds. Additionally, I believe Congress should revisit and clarify the constitutional clauses that are meant to protect against abuses of power, particularly those related to insurrection and financial conflicts of interest. These safeguards are not about politics. They are about protecting our democracy and preserving the rule of law. When leaders at the highest levels disregard judicial authority, it erodes the public’s trust and threatens the very framework our country is built upon. Thank you for your time and your continued service. I hope you will lead with urgency and integrity in addressing this issue.
