STATEMENT FROM DEMAND JUSTICE PRESIDENT JOSH ORTON ON SUPREME COURT ALLOWING TRUMP TO MOVE FORWARD WITH $400M BALLROOM

“The Supreme Court just rubber-stamped a monument to corruption: a $400 million ballroom bankrolled by Lockheed, Palantir, Amazon, and other corporations with billions in federal contracts riding on Trump’s goodwill. Justices who take luxury gifts from billionaires just made another giveaway to the oligarchy and the corporations buying a president.

“The Supreme Court’s legitimacy crisis just got worse, and it won’t end until we expand the Court and get a majority dedicated to honesty, fairness, and justice for all.”
