John,
Recent scandals have exposed how the highest court in our land is operating without a binding code of ethics, and certain justices are exploiting their lifetime appointments in ways that undermine the Court's integrity.
We've seen Justices Thomas and Alito fail to recuse themselves from cases where they have clear conflicts of interest, including matters related to the January 6 insurrection. There have been reports of justices accepting lavish, undisclosed gifts from wealthy individuals and interest groups, raising serious questions about their impartiality.
This behavior, protected by lifetime appointments, has eroded public trust to the point where only 16% of Americans have a "great deal of confidence" in the Court. That's not just disappointing--it's dangerous for our democracy.
But there's hope. President Biden has proposed two critical reforms, implementing a binding and enforceable Code of Ethics for Supreme Court justices and establishing 18-year term limits for justices, with appointments every two years.
We can't afford to wait. We need your voice to push Congress to act. Tell Congress: Support and pass Biden's Supreme Court reforms now!
The far-right majority on the Supreme Court has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to upend decades of legal precedents to serve partisan interests. From gutting voting rights to dismantling protections for workers, and reproductive rights, these decisions have real consequences for millions of Americans.
It’s clear that the status quo is unsustainable. We cannot allow a few unaccountable justices to wield such immense power indefinitely. Biden’s reforms offer a concrete solution to ensure that the Court reflects the will of the people, not the interests of a political elite.
A Supreme Court unchecked is a danger to democracy itself. The American people deserve a judiciary that operates with transparency, fairness, and a commitment to justice. By supporting Biden’s plan, we can ensure that the Court remains a protector of our rights, not a weapon of ideological warfare.
Sign on now to tell Congress that it’s time to restore integrity to the Supreme Court by standing with President Biden to pass these reforms now. The future of our democracy depends on it.
Let’s protect the integrity of our judicial system.
