Trump vs. US Clears Path for Trump Dictatorship

Decision underscores the stakes of November election

The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement after today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Trump vs. United States:

“Today’s Supreme Court ruling in Trump vs. United States underscores that Donald Trump remains a threat to the sacred institutions of democracy and the rule of law. Should he get another term - Trump will certainly appoint more Supreme Court justices who will push a Trump-first radical agenda that will clear the path for the criminal ex-president to rule as a dictator, as he has already promised to do.

“Trump is willing to do anything in his campaign for revenge and retribution, and we know that he will put himself above our Constitution, the rule of law, and the will of voters- and the Supreme Court just made it even easier for Donald Trump to pursue his path to being a dictator.

“Trump already tried to subvert the results of a free and fair election on January 6. Since then, he has only become more unhinged, promising to be a dictator on “day one” if he returns to the White House, and warning of a “bloodbath” if he loses.

“Americans who agree with Justice Sotomayor’s dissenting opinion and believe that our nation is not a dictatorship have an obligation to come to the defense of our Constitution and Democracy this November. It is up to voters to send the message that no one, especially a felon convicted by a jury of his peers, should be above the law. Today’s decision underscores the importance of reelecting Joe Biden, which is the only way to put an end to the MAGA attempts to eliminate democracy as we know it and install Trump as a dictator.”
