I am writing to urge you to immediately initiate impeachment proceedings against President Trump under Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution for high crimes and misdemeanors related to his attacks on judicial independence. Following the Supreme Court's recent ruling against his tariff policies, President Trump responded by raising the global tariff rate from 10% to 15%, directly defying the Court's decision. More alarmingly, he has characterized judges who rule against him as disloyal, a statement that strikes at the foundation of our constitutional system. This rhetoric represents an authoritarian attack on the separation of powers that defines our democracy. Judge Luttig has called for Americans to take back the country from Trump's war on the rule of law. His warning should be heeded by Congress. When a president labels judicial decisions as acts of disloyalty rather than independent constitutional interpretation, he signals his rejection of the checks and balances that prevent tyranny. An independent judiciary is not optional in a constitutional republic. It is the essential safeguard against executive overreach. The Constitution provides a clear remedy for a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors. Attacking the legitimacy of the judicial branch and defying its rulings meets this threshold. Without judicial independence, no branch of government can constrain presidential power, and citizens have no protection from executive abuse. I urge you to support articles of impeachment immediately. The precedent we set now will determine whether future presidents respect constitutional limits or believe they can intimidate judges into compliance. This is not a partisan issue but a constitutional crisis that demands swift action to preserve the rule of law.
