In our country, no one is above the law. The rule of law isn’t just a legal principle, it’s a safeguard. It ensures all people — including our most powerful public officials — are subject to the same laws and those laws are equally enforced. The rule of law also protects the rights that define us as Americans, from the freedom to speak out and express political dissent to the right to choose our own leaders.

CLC is committed to protecting the political freedoms of all Americans, defending the rule of law and preserving the checks and balances that prevent any one branch of government — or any one individual — from becoming too powerful. To that end, CLC is litigating against unlawful overreach and threats to the freedoms of all Americans, challenging dangerous legislation, and promoting solutions that will strengthen our democracy.
