Request for Accountability in Supreme Court Hearing on Trump Prosecution
To: Justices Court
From: A constituent in Asheville, NC
April 24
The upcoming Supreme Court hearing on the potential prosecution of former President Trump necessitates a critical examination of the precedent set by Nixon v. Fitzgerald. The argument for immunity from prosecution for actions taken while in office, based on the absence of previous prosecutions, is not a sufficient defense. The distinction between civil lawsuits and criminal enforcement is crucial. The timing of the trial should not be influenced by electoral considerations. The involvement of Justice Clarence Thomas, given his wife's support for overturning the 2020 election results, raises concerns about impartiality. It is requested that the court consider these factors and deny immunity, ensuring accountability for actions taken while in office. This is not about one individual, but about upholding the principle that no one is above the law.
