Whereas, the principle of law and order is a foundational pillar of the United States, essential for maintaining justice, equality, and the rule of law;
Whereas, Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, has been convicted by a jury of his peers of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, which have been duly adjudicated in a court of law, demonstrating the impartial functioning of the American judicial system;
Whereas, the conviction of Donald Trump underscores the imperative that no individual, regardless of their position or influence, is above the law;
Whereas, numerous Republican leaders in Wyoming have publicly expressed their support for Donald Trump despite his conviction, thereby undermining the legal principles they purport to uphold;
Whereas, such support from elected officials and party leaders contradicts their expressed commitment to law and order, and raises concerns about their dedication to the principles of justice and accountability;
Whereas, the endorsement of a convicted individual by these leaders can erode public trust in the legal system and the integrity of public officials;
Therefore, be it resolved, we, the undersigned, formally condemn the actions of Republican leaders in Wyoming who continue to support Donald Trump despite his conviction, as it represents a blatant disregard for the rule of law and the principles of justice;
