Target: John Roberts, Circuit Justice for the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals
Goal: Praise 4th Circuit Court for keeping the block on President Trump’s travel ban in place.
Recently, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals planned to challenge the 4th Circuit’s decision to block President Trump’s attempt to revive the travel ban. Petitions such as this one on ForceChange immediately protested the revival, and in the end, the 4th Circuit came through and kept the block on Trump’s unconstitutional ban firmly in place.
Every victory over Trump’s agenda should be considered monumental, and this one is no exception. The travel ban was and continues to be unconstitutional and extremely biased; the chief judge declared it “[dripping] with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination.” Trump’s claims of desiring national security are racist and a thinly veiled prejudice against countries he does not do business with.
Trump is likely to attempt another revival of the ban, but with any luck, he will be stopped again and again until the block of this ban is made permanent. The United States and the courts have done an excellent job of fighting this aspect of Trump’s agenda. Sign this petition to thank the 4th Circuit Court for keeping the block in place.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Justice Roberts,
Thank you for continuing the block on President Trump’s unconstitutional travel ban, despite his efforts to revive it and convince another court to take his side. The ban has been a terrible idea since day one, but you have helped make this one of the easiest fights against Trump’s agenda. With him and his administration fighting as hard as they can to make life difficult for us, every victory is monumental, and this one is no exception.
We praise your good judgment and hope you will continue to reject this ban, as Trump will likely continue to try to revive it. Thank you for taking the side of decency, common sense, and keeping America open and accepting.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
