Dear Reader, Our Founding Fathers separated our government into three co-equal branches – the executive, the legislative and the judicial. And it is this separation of powers that allows the judiciary to protect you and me from overzealous legislators and presidents. You see, the Founders understood that without an independent judiciary, there would be no liberty . Yet, that’s something that too many of today’s representatives, senators, and even the current president don’t seem to understand. Instead, they are listening to radical dark money groups that are pushing to restructure the Supreme Court and make the entire judicial branch subservient to the other two. My name is Kelly Shackelford . I am the President, CEO and Chief Counsel of First Liberty Institute. As a constitutional scholar who’s been defending religious freedom for 35 years, I want you to understand how dangerous the current threat to the Supreme Court is. To put it bluntly, this election will determine the immediate future of the Supreme Court and the long-term outlook for our country. For the past six years, the radical Left has had to stand by and watch a Supreme Court follow the Constitution and overturn decades of bad legal precedents. The Court’s decisions protecting the unborn and expressions of faith have derailed their plans. Now the radical Left wants to get their agenda back on track. And they believe they have an opportunity to implement their dangerous plan to pack the Court with their own handpicked justices. Ever since President Biden’s Commission on the Supreme Court recommended that the Court be left alone, the attempts to discredit and delegitimize the Court and its justices have been nonstop. The radical Left continues to politicize the Court, portray the Court as broken , and push their dangerous plan to restructure the Court . They know that if one party wins , the House, Senate and the White House, they can add as many justices to the Supreme Court as they want by a simple majority vote. Your country and your freedoms would be over. But there is hope. You can help stop this brazen power grab and secure the future of the Supreme Court by doing these four things: - Take the pledge to support an independent judiciary.
- Find out where your candidates stand on the radical issues of packing and purging the Court.
- Share what you learn about the candidates and the dangers of court packing with everyone – family, friends and followers on social media.
- Do your civic duty — Vote!
It’s time to make all the candidates aware that their constituents must know the truth about where they stand on preserving the priceless heritage of the Supreme Court. |
