John,
Make no mistake about it: The Supreme Court is a super-legislature with a deeply corrupt and extreme far-right majority.
We all saw Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell pack the Court with three ultra-conservative justices, each serving life appointments. And during the short amount of time they’ve been on the Court, they’ve made horrendous decisions, overturning Roe v. Wade just to name one.
It’s time to do something about it, John. We can muster our collective power to call on Congress to add four seats to the Supreme Court by passing the Judiciary Act. This isn’t a radical idea, and it doesn't take a constitutional amendment. If you stand with us, please rush a contribution to our campaign to fix our Supreme Court and re-instill trust, honor, and integrity in our legislative systems.
Democrats have not prioritized changing the rules and institutions that act as roadblocks to progress. Take the filibuster for example: A rule not found anywhere in the Constitution and born out of the Jim Crow era continues to hold back common-sense bills, basic voting rights protections, pre-K for all, and more.
Meanwhile, when Republicans found rules that didn’t work in their favor, they changed them. By shrinking the Supreme Court to eight seats and ramming through the nomination of the anti-abortion judge Amy Coney Barret just days before the presidential election – despite blocking Merrick Garland for that same reason – Republicans were successful at unwinding the critical fabric of our democracy.
The Supreme Court is an urgent threat to our freedoms, and we need a proper response, John. If you want to take action and fix the Supreme Court, please consider making a contribution to boost our fight against Mitch McConnell’s far-right Supreme Court.
Together,
Pramila Jayapal
