Republicans have spent two decades enacting a quiet plot to seize control of our judicial system, all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Why?

Because the far right and their dark-money backers know they can’t win fair and square, so they try to rule from the bench instead. 

There’s more on this subject, but first, will you chip in to my campaign so I can defend my seat in Congress, flip the House blue, and restore justice to our justice system?

These days, the Supreme Court is essentially a loyal guard dog for the big corporations, billionaires, and reactionaries who are utterly afraid of real progress in this country.

The far-right SCOTUS majority has reversed common-sense gun reform, fettered the power of federal agencies, declared presidents above the law, blocked vital regulations, and legalized partisan gerrymandering (!). And that’s just in the past couple of years!

This is a concerted effort to chip away at the authority of democratically-elected leaders and expand the power of unelected judges.

In other words, a slow-moving coup.

President Biden recently put forth a plan to stop the SCOTUS power grab, including binding ethics laws and a constitutional amendment that ensures former presidents CAN be prosecuted for their crimes.

And last year, I proposed a bill to create a new impartial court to handle most cases involving the federal government.

But the only way proposals like these will ever become law is if folks like you take up the cause, too. That’s why I hope you’ll consider chipping in $25 before our End-of-Month deadline to help elect a Democratic majority and repair this deeply broken system.

Thank you for standing up for democracy.
