Jack, nothing lays bare the lack of trust in the Supreme Court more than the anxiety so many communities feel on decision days.

At Daily Kos, we hold our breath, waiting to hear whose freedoms are being stripped, whose lives will be made harder, and who among the nation's wealthiest will be further enriched.

Enough. In the face of an unaccountable, unethical majority on the Supreme Court, Congress must protect our democracy. Sign on: Expand the Supreme Court.

CLICK TO SIGN

A 2022 survey showed that merely 18% of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the supreme court – the lowest in half a century.

It comes at no surprise. The highest court in the land is the only court in the country without a code of ethics. Conservatives stacked it with hyper-partisan extremists who prioritize their right-wing ideology over the good of the nation. Americans have had enough of absurdly divisive rulings that overturn long-held precedent, and the seemingly endless list of conflicts of interest and scandals.

Democrats have introduced legislation to restore trust in the Court. Help demonstrate broad support for much needed reforms by adding your name today.

Read more about why we're calling to expand the Court below.
Jack, the Supreme Court is supposed to be the last line of defense against attacks on our fundamental freedoms and constitutional rights.

Instead, right-wing extremists have used it to inflict their deeply unpopular agenda on the rest of us. Meanwhile, the list of ethics scandals surrounding the same conservative justices voting to strip our freedoms seems to grow by the week. This extremist bench has shown that it is not interested in advancing equal justice under the law. It’s time to rebalance the Supreme Court to create one that is.

Add your name: Congress must expand the Supreme Court to restore integrity to an unaccountable institution.

SIGN THE PETITION

The continued disregard for ethics, constitutional precedent, and the health and wellbeing of Americans demands intervention. To repair the public's faith, Congress must restore balance to this out-of-control, lawless Supreme Court.

The Constitution allows Congress to change the number of justices—lawmakers have done so seven different times throughout American history. Adding seats to the Court is a practical, proportional response that would allow us to stop the harm being done and restore its balance and integrity.

In the face of an unaccountable, unethical majority on the Supreme Court determined to strip Americans of our freedoms, we need Congress to deliver the reforms necessary to protect our democracy. That starts with expanding the Court.

Sign the petition: Congress must expand the Supreme Court.
