[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress
Hey, it’s Ayanna Pressley. Help me out here. Last month, it was revealed
that Justice Alito’s wife flew a flag associated with the “Stop the Steal”
movement and January 6 insurrectionists at their home. When called out, he
deferred. So I’m just trying to square this circle. Justice Alito claims
he can’t tell his wife what to do when she wants to show solidarity with
insurrectionists, but he can tell us what to do with our own bodies?
Make it make sense.
The Supreme Court is facing a crisis of legitimacy. It has been stacked
with partisan, far-right justices hand-selected by conservative
mega-donors, enabled by a man who was just found guilty on 34 counts of
lies, cover ups, and withholding the truth. The Justices have released
partisan decisions and substituted extremist, minority opinions for
settled law. And they’ve repeated ethics violation after ethics violation
by accepting lavish, secret gifts from right-wing mega-donors.
We can’t just sit by and let them undermine our democracy like this. So
I’m fighting for:
* Supreme Court expansion to restore balance and fairness.
* A binding code of ethics for justices to ensure accountability and
restore integrity.
* Formal investigations into Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and
Brett Kavanaugh to shed light on their records of impropriety.

crisis, and that we’re demanding action. If Supreme Court reform is an
important issue for you, will you sign on to show you support these
measures that will defend our democracy and save lives?

If this issue wasn’t urgent enough, consider the damning link between the
Court’s corruption and the far-right manifesto “Project 2025,” a 900-plus
page document of extremist policies meant to destroy the federal
government as we know it if Republicans win the presidency in 2024.
This plan contains everything from a national abortion ban to eliminating
the Department of Education to mass firings of 50,000 federal civil
servants to be replaced by partisan hacks — and it also has implications
on the Judicial branch.
We can draw clear connections between the right-wing groups that have
funded Project 2025 and the groups involved with the decades-long effort
to stack the Court. In fact, that venn diagram looks more like a circle.
The only way right-wing extremists will be able to ensure their policies
are carried out is if the Supreme Court will back them — and we can’t just
sit back and cross our fingers that they do the right thing.
[ [link removed] ]I’m sounding every alarm I can find on the dangers of Project 2025 and
the urgent need for Supreme Court reform. Will you raise your voice with
me? Add your
name if you agree: Congress must act to expand the Court, install a
binding code of ethics, and investigate judges who have demonstrated
misconduct.
Let’s get this done,
Ayanna
