An open letter to the U.S. Supreme Court

Subject: Defending Judicial Independence and Clarifying Presidential Immunity

As guardians of the Constitution, your duty to uphold the judiciary’s independence and the separation of powers is essential. Recent actions by the executive branch threaten this balance, undermining the rule of law and public trust in our institutions. The framers entrusted this Court with a duty to act as a check on executive power. I respectfully urge the Court to affirm that no president—current or future—is entitled to immunity from accountability while in office for actions that violate the law or Constitution. This principle is not novel. In United States v. Nixon, the Court held that no one, not even the President, is above the law. In Clinton v. Jones, it ruled that a sitting President is not immune from civil litigation for unofficial acts. And in Trump v. Vance, it reaffirmed that executive power does not place the presidency beyond the reach of judicial process. These precedents reflect a shared constitutional truth: that the rule of law must remain supreme, and executive power must be subject to legal constraint. A failure to act decisively now risks encouraging future abuses, weakening democratic safeguards for generations. You carry the responsibility to act not only as jurists but as stewards of our nation's founding values. Please reaffirm that presidential authority is bound by law—clearly and unambiguously—to ensure accountability both now and in posterity. With deep respect, I ask that you consider the legacy your decision will leave. The future of our democracy—and the security of your fellow citizens—rests with this Court.
