John, after this
week of disastrous rulings from the Supreme Court, it’s clear that our
highest Court is in desperate need of reform. And that starts with
expanding and unstacking the Supreme Court.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Adam reads: Expanding the size of the Supreme Court isn't extreme
or unprecedented — but the opinions of this Court certainly are

The Supreme Court is, by far, the most unrepresentative U.S. institution
in our government, yet it is also one of the most powerful.

I’ve spent years talking about the need to expand, unstack, and reform the
Supreme Court after Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell stacked it with
partisans. This week we saw firsthand the consequences of its imbalance.

In the four years following Mitch McConnell's refusal to even consider
President Obama’s 2016 nomination of Merrick Garland to the Court,
McConnell and Trump were able to push through three unpopular,
problematic, far-right nominees.

This has led to a 6-3, partisan and reactionary Court majority that just
this week has:

❌ Ended affirmative action

❌ Attacked LGBTQ+ rights

❌ Struck down President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan

That’s on top of overturning Roe v. Wade, just last year.

All of these rulings are shocking and heartbreaking and negatively affect
countless Americans' lives — especially since SCOTUS is supposed to be an
impartial and nonpartisan legal body — but given the makeup of this
partisan Court, it’s also not surprising.

And with members of the Court enjoying lifelong appointments, we’re stuck
with their staunchly partisan, extreme agenda for generations to come
unless we act now.

Today’s Supreme Court is unfair, unjust, and no longer reflects what our
founding fathers intended it to be — instead it’s being used as a purely
partisan tool for Republicans to unilaterally reverse progress and strike
down our fundamental rights.

We must unpack the Court by expanding the number of justices on the Court,
instituting term limits, and enacting a code of ethics like every other
federal court. I’m proud to be sponsoring legislation in Congress that
will make these important reforms.

Congress must take action. It’s time we abolish the filibuster and unpack
the Court if we want any chance of restoring legitimacy and ensuring our
nation’s highest court doesn’t continue to be used to advance a partisan
agenda at odds with the interests of the American people.

[ [link removed] ]John, join
me in demanding Congress expand the Supreme Court by adding your name now.

[ [link removed] ]ADD YOUR NAME

I’m ready to continue this fight in the U.S. Senate and do whatever it
takes to ensure we have a more trustworthy Supreme Court.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for taking action.

—Adam
