"Joe Biden: My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law"
— Washington Post, 7/29/24
Team, did you see this headline?
For months, Mikie has used her voice to sound the alarm about what’s happening at the Supreme Court, from bombshell ethics scandals to overtly partisan rulings with dramatic impacts on Americans’ rights and freedoms.
In Congress, she’s taken action — introducing and sponsoring legislation that would bring the kind of change to the Supreme Court that is so desperately needed right now to restore Americans’ faith in our federal judiciary.
Now, President Biden has announced a plan of his own to restore transparency, integrity, and accountability at the Supreme Court — and it includes many important proposals that Mikie has called for, like a binding code of ethics for Supreme Court justices.
President Biden’s plan is a much-needed step in the right direction at this shameful low point for one of America’s greatest institutions. But we’ll be blunt — unless and until we flip the House blue, the MAGA GOP majority will do everything they can to stop this plan right in its tracks.
So as we approach tomorrow’s end-of-month fundraising deadline, we’re asking: Will you donate $10 to help Mikie win reelection, flip Republican-held seats, and deliver House Democrats the majority they need to reform the Supreme Court? [[link removed]]

Team,
When I first entered the Naval Academy at 18 years old, I took an oath to bear true faith and allegiance to our Constitution. Our Supreme Court justices took the same oath.
Alarmingly, it appears some justices have abandoned that oath — putting their own personal and political interests ahead of our country. Just take a look at what has happened over the last two years:
*
In
a
6-3
decision,
the
Supreme
Court
overturned
decades
of
precedent
in
its
2022
Dobbs
decision,
rolling
back
abortion
rights
and
fulfilling
a
decades-long
goal
of
conservative
activists.
*
In
2023,
ProPublica
revealed
that
Justice
Clarence
Thomas
had
accepted
luxurious
trips
paid
for
by
prominent
GOP
megadonors,
including
Harlan
Crow.
*
Earlier
this
year,
The
New
York
Times
reported
that
Justice
Samuel
Alito
had
a
flag
connected
to
various
far-right
groups
flying
outside
his
New
Jersey
vacation
home.
*
And,
last
month,
the
Supreme
Court
ruled
that
Donald
Trump
has
total
immunity
from
any
“official
acts”
he
committed
while
in
office
—
upending
the
fundamental
notion
in
American
democracy
that
no
one
is
above
the
law.
These are just a few examples of the outrageous, partisan behavior exhibited by the current majority on the Supreme Court, but it is too much to bear. The Supreme Court should be a moderating force in our democracy, not a defense team for Donald Trump.
That’s why I’m taking action. Earlier this year, I introduced the Stop Judge Shopping Act , legislation endorsed by Washington’s most prominent watchdog group that would ensure partisan activists can’t game the judiciary to set national policy. And it’s why I’m a proud co-sponsor of the Supreme Court Ethics and Investigations Act , which would ensure Supreme Court justices are held to the highest ethical standards and establish real oversight mechanisms.
The American people can’t wait any longer for change in the Supreme Court. If you agree, please chip in $10 to support my work today. I won’t stop fighting to defend our democracy, whether the threat comes from Donald Trump or from the nation’s highest court. [[link removed]]
