Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Supreme Court of the United States should use its powers under the All Writs Act to protect its jurisdiction and bring the questions of Federal and constitutional law and equity before the Court for resolution with all deliberate speed and possible urgency.
This House resolution expresses the opinion that the Supreme Court should intervene in former President Donald Trump's New York criminal conviction by using its powers under the All Writs Act to take the case for immediate review. The resolution argues that the conviction raises serious constitutional questions involving First Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, and Fourteenth Amendment violations, and claims the prosecution was politically motivated, the judge had conflicts of interest, and the trial procedures were flawed. The resolution emphasizes that because Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and the general election is November 5, 2024, the Supreme Court should act with urgency to resolve these legal questions before voters make their electoral decisions. The resolution does not create binding law or contain funding provisions; it is a non-binding statement of House sentiment urging the Supreme Court to take action. The resolution was submitted on June 21, 2024, during the 118th Congress.
