John— 

I’m running for re-election in Rhode Island for the United States Senate. I’m hoping you’ll split a $10 donation between my campaign and The Majority Rules – and here’s why.

It’s been clear for a long time that the Supreme Court has a corruption problem. I recently published a law review article highlighting how this captured Supreme Court often simply makes up false facts to arrive at decisions that ultimately benefit partisan Republican special interests.

Take Citizens United v. FEC as an example. Remember when the Federalist Society justices said that all the unlimited political spending they were unleashing would be “transparent”? Well, we’ve seen dark money in politics prove them wrong several billion times over.

Our system is designed to leave fact-finding to the lower courts that hear testimony, make credibility determinations, and review evidence. The Supreme Court is then supposed to defer to – and not alter – factual records in its decisions. Think about it: if the Highest Court in the Land makes up phony facts, there is nowhere else the parties can appeal to.

The captured Roberts Court has done a lot of this phony fact-finding in big decisions that have fundamentally changed life in America. The Dobbs decision that ended a fundamental freedom for women is another one that was built on made-up history. How are the American people supposed to trust a Court that makes up its own rules to concoct decisions that suit right-wing special interests?

I won’t give up my fight to improve transparency and accountability at the Supreme Court, but I need your help. Split a contribution today to send me back to the Senate so I can protect American democracy and make sure our Court is giving Americans the fair shake they deserve.

Americans deserve a Court that plays by the rules.
