A new
Supreme Court term started this week.
One of their first decisions was declining to hear a case that would
require emergency rooms in Texas to provide an abortion if a pregnant
patient’s health or life would be at serious risk if they don’t receive
one.
By refusing to hear this case, the extremists appointed to the Supreme
Court by Donald Trump are allowing Texas to deny women abortion care —
even in a medical emergency.
Reminder: This is the same extremist Supreme Court stacked by Donald Trump
that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Reminder: This is the same extremist Supreme Court stacked by Donald Trump
that ruled that the president is above the law, giving free rein to abuse
the power of the presidency without constraint.
Reminder: There’s a page in Project 2025 that says that if Donald Trump is
president, he can install the right person at the Department of Justice to
enforce a total national abortion ban, through an interpretation of an old
law called the Comstock Act.
It’s all connected. Trump and the far-right
movement are plotting to take over and abuse our government institutions
to attack our democracy and rip away our freedoms.
And another reminder: The next president could nominate the next one, two,
or three Supreme Court justices.
That’s what’s at stake in this election.
Here’s what we can do about this:
In the short-term, we must prevent Donald Trump from returning to the
White House and therefore prevent Project 2025 from being enacted. That
must be our top priority. Period.
We also need to hold our Senate majority to pass national abortion
protections and keep the GOP from getting veto power over new Supreme
Court justice nominations.
Congress must also make Supreme Court justices finally follow a basic and
enforceable code of ethics and give Americans confidence that their judges
are held to the highest standards and are free from conflicts of interest.
I’ve introduced legislation to do just that.
After that, in the long-term, Congress must restore balance by adding more
justices to the Court. Congress has already used its constitutional
authority to change the size of the Supreme Court seven times in the past.
This isn’t new. It’s what we must do to rebalance a Court that Republicans
packed and that clearly doesn’t feel limited by the rule of law.
And we also need to end the filibuster. It’s a relic of the Jim Crow-era
that is found nowhere in the Constitution and has blocked policies that
are so overwhelmingly popular among voters — voters who voted for a
Democratic majority — because a minority of Republican senators disagree.
This will allow us to pass the policies that the majority of Americans are
calling for, like federal abortion rights, voting protections, and gun
safety laws.
This is all within our reach. But a Trump dictatorship
is within reach, too. That’s what is at stake this year.
These attacks on our rights, institutions, and democracy are meant to
exhaust us. Meant to drain us of our will to fight. But we can’t let them
succeed.
When we identify the problems we face as a nation, lay out solutions, and
go out and fight for them, we can win. I’m throwing everything I’ve got
into this fight. That’s my plan from now through November and beyond. And
I’m asking you to stay by my side.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
