John —
today, I’m celebrating one of the most important anniversaries of Pride
Month.

Nine years ago today, the Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision in
Obergefell v. Hodges recognizing marriage equality nationwide.

It’s a far cry from the Supreme Court’s far-right politics today — and
proof that the Court can still be a lodestar for national progress if we
have the will to make it so.

Generations of LGBTQIA+ activists struggled and sacrificed in the fight
for equal rights and full recognition of their humanity by our government.
Their efforts paid off with the Obergefell decision and blazed a path for
our passage of the Respect for Marriage Act to codify marriage equality
into federal law in 2022.

But Mitch McConnell made it his mission to remake the federal judiciary in
Trump’s flawed image. When Justice Antonin Scalia passed and President
Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill his vacancy, McConnell denied
Garland a hearing for almost an entire year.

When Trump won the 2016 election, McConnell and the Republican Senate were
quick to confirm Neil Gorsuch in his place, followed by Brett Kavanaugh,
and then in the final days of the 2020 election, as millions of votes had
already been cast, and against the dying wish of the late Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsberg, McConnell hypocritically pushed through the confirmation
of Trump’s third Supreme Court justice nominee, Amy Coney Barrett.

Trump and McConnell fundamentally changed the Supreme Court, and hard-line
conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas have grown more
emboldened, political, and partisan than any justices in living memory.

Thomas has accepted millions of dollars in previously undisclosed gifts
from wealthy megadonors with interests before the Supreme Court, while his
wife coordinated with Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on
January 6th.

The Alitos have publicly flown flags associated with QAnon and the MAGA
insurrectionists.

But there is good news. Thanks to our defense of the Senate majority in
2022, President Biden is now outpacing Trump in filling the federal bench.

I believe we need to go even further — I have introduced legislation in
the House and will champion the same in the Senate, to expand the Supreme
Court from nine justices to thirteen, while imposing an enforceable code
of ethics and term limits so that the youth of today do not have to live
under the yoke of this far-right Court for decades to come.

reaching my end-of-quarter goal before the FEC fundraising deadline on
June 30. John,

Days like this one nine years ago prove the promise and possibility of
America. Let us recommit ourselves to fighting for the future we all
deserve, one where equality and each person’s freedom and liberty are
respected.

Thank you,

Adam
