Justice Delivered and Justice Delayed

To the editor:

In Fayette County, Texas, and America, we value our freedoms – including our freedom to elect leaders who govern in our name in free and fair elections. Despite facing intimidation, threats, and harassment, a jury of everyday Americans had the courage to weigh the evidence and convict Trump of felony election conspiracy and cover-up – deceiving voters in order to seize power. This voter deception verdict is one critical step toward accountability, which stands in absolute contrast to what Trump and his allies on the Supreme Court are doing to block accountability for his role in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 election. We would already have a verdict in that trial if the MAGA Justices on the Court had not intentionally stalled proceedings to help Trump. Just as ‘we the people’ refused to let MAGA Republicans silence us and take away our freedoms in 2020, we are holding them accountable in 2024 – first through the courts and very soon at the ballot box.
