Today the Supreme Court, for all intents and purposes, by granting presidential immunity, effectively overturned our democracy. And last week you, Mr. President, presented yourself to the country and the world as both physically and mentally infirm. Our country is in grave danger. Women, immigrants, people of color, anyone not traditionally heterosexual, non so-called "Christians," left leaning political activists, anyone who goes against Trump or the right wing, are all in danger of losing their freedoms and even their lives. Our rights to vote are under threat. In addition, the court last week diminished the ability of federal agencies, staffed by experts, to protect people and the environment. This is not hyperbolic; this is a national emergency. You must rise to this moment. You must stop Trump from becoming president once again. He is a traitor to the principles of freedom and democracy, and the leader of a traitorous movement that includes, sadly, the Republican House and the majority of the Supreme Court. You must address the corrupt and illegitimate court. You must take the power you have and do what needs to be done. Sacrifice yourself if you have to. You stand between the present moment and the end of democracy, decades of future repression, and unimaginable injustice and human suffering. At a time when we face many challenges, climate change among them, and wars in Ukraine and Gaza, this trajectory of Trumpism will not only prevent our ability to face these challenges as we must, but will turn our country to the side of these challenges against ourselves, and the world, and hasten a slew of oncoming existential calamities.

If you cannot face this moment you need to step aside. Last night in your address to the nation you indicated that you recognized the danger of the Supreme Court decision because the county now must rely on the character of the president, and you assured the people of your character and that you would respect the law. Your opponent in this election smiled at that, and he thinks you are an idiot. Yes, the man who has the morals of an alley cat just got out of all sorts of trouble and is looking forward to doing so much more with impunity when he is elected! This is not the time to depend on doing the "right" thing. The rule of law was just overturned by the final arbiters of the law. We have four months to prevent the end of democracy in the United States of America. You need to treat this as the national emergency that it is. You must gather the finest legal minds and top democratic leaders together for as long as it takes. This is no joke. This is not the time to wait or waffle or think the election is going to go your way. You need to act and protect the people and the constitution! Do you not see that this is a continuation of January 6? It never stopped. We are essentially at war with ourselves. Fight or step aside. You have immunity and you must use that power to ensure that future presidents no longer have it. Words are not enough. It is time to match the shameless and voracious power of the psychopathy that is so manifest in Trump and the MAGA movement and defeat it. Otherwise we acquiesce and that is unacceptable.

You took an oath to defend the constitution. So did the supreme court justices. The conservative majority broke theirs by granting immunity to the office of president. Trump has no allegiance to the constitution, the principles of democracy, or the people of this nation.
So, you face a challenge Mr. President. How will you keep your oath? Because by not acting boldly now you may ensure that you do not ultimately protect the constitution and the republic. If Trump is elected you will have failed your oath. This is not an election. It is a coup, and so far it is succeeding. Jan 6 2021 is continuing and happening now before our eyes.
In order to protect your oath you must take extraordinary measures. You must do everything you can to keep Trump out of the Whitehouse and to make sure future presidents do not have immunity, including using your new found powers of immunity.
This is a constitutional crisis and a national emergency and I urge you to treat it with the highest level of importance the government can muster.
