John,

Until recently, the Supreme Court had been the only court in the country without a binding ethics code. The justices announced that they will subject themselves to a code of ethics, but they only took this step, they explain, because of some “misunderstanding” by the public about their probity.

That’s not accountability — that’s the appearance of accountability. These new rules appear to be more loophole than law, and the justices will still judge themselves who did wrong or what their punishment is.

We want to know how our supporters feel about this. Can you take a quick, one-click poll today?

In the wake of Donald Trump's presidency, we've seen hard-right judges stacked on the Supreme Court, federal courts, and state courts across the country, delivering devastating rulings that have weakened voting rights, gun reforms, climate protections, and completely overturned abortion rights.

We must fight back and put more Democrats on the courts.

The Senate is the only body which can confirm federal judges and as such, Democratic control of the Senate is crucial to shaping judicial appointments. We must ensure the Senate stays in Democratic hands in 2024.

And in the states, we must pour resources into often highly contested judicial races that get little attention, but that have a wide influence on the daily lives of Americans.

Progress Courts PAC is working every day to hold the Senate and help elect progressive judges across the country, and we need your help.
