To the Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court, This Court must act—now. The Constitution is being shredded in real time, and the judiciary is under siege from a president who demands obedience, not justice. This week, a federal judge rightly refused to allow the deportation of eight migrants to South Sudan—a country they’ve never lived in—without so much as a hearing. These men face the possibility of torture, yet the administration pressed forward without care, compassion, or constitutionality. When the judge upheld their right to due process, the president accused him of “lawless defiance.” Let’s be absolutely clear: that accusation is projection. The lawlessness—and the cruelty—are coming from the executive branch. This is not an isolated incident. It is part of a calculated pattern: dehumanizing immigrants, vilifying judges, ignoring court orders, and undermining the rule of law whenever it gets in the way of raw political power. The cruelty is not a byproduct—it is the point. This is not leadership. It is authoritarianism laced with vengeance and indifference to human suffering. I urge this Court to: • Reaffirm the judiciary’s independence and authority to uphold due process and human rights; • Make clear that no president can override the Constitution by bullying the bench; • And defend the very foundation of our democracy against a deliberate, ongoing assault from within the highest office in the land. The judiciary is the last constitutional guardrail. If you fail to hold the line, no one will. History is watching.
