John,

The JUDGES Act is not a judicial reform, it’s a judicial coup. This MAGA-backed bill would create 22 new federal judgeships so Trump can handpick every single one.

That means 22 lifetime appointments for a man who’s currently threatening judges, defying court orders, and promising to dismantle our democracy.

It’s a rigged plan. Trump and his allies want to cement their control over the judiciary for generations. By stacking the courts with loyalists, they’re laying the foundation for an authoritarian legal system that rubber-stamps their every move.

And they know it. That’s why this bill was being strategically delayed, to ensure maximum partisan gain. And that’s exactly why we must oppose it with everything we’ve got.

The JUDGES Act threatens to undermine the very independence of the judiciary, turning the courts into an extension of Trump’s political machine. That’s not democracy, it’s dictatorship wrapped in legal robes.

Let’s be clear: Trump wants these judges to gut voting rights, attack abortion access, roll back environmental protections, and dismantle the federal government from the bench.

If we care about checks and balances, if we care about a functioning democracy, if we care about civil rights, then we must stop this bill right now.

Tell Congress: Oppose the JUDGES Act and defend our courts from Trump’s power grab.

Together, we can stop this judicial coup, defend the courts, and protect democracy from MAGA authoritarianism.
