Hi,

“I don’t know,” Trump said recently when asked if he needs to follow the
Constitution in deportation cases.^1 The White House has caused a
constitutional crisis by refusing to comply with federal court orders and
calling for the removal of any judges who rule against Trump.

Republicans in Congress are supporting Trump by pushing the JUDGES Act,
which would create new judgeships that the White House can fill with
extreme right-wing Trump loyalists. We must let our lawmakers know that a
Trump expansion of the federal courts would be a disaster for our
democracy, which is already facing an emergency under this administration.

Act now!

Trump is relentlessly smearing judges who dare try to hold him
accountable. He’s ignoring orders from lower federal courts AND the
Supreme Court. The JUDGES Act would give Trump even more power over the
judiciary branch, allowing him to install unqualified ideological allies,
evade accountability, and shape laws in our country for decades to come.

“As Trump and his lawless Administration demand judges be impeached for
the crime of upholding the Constitution against them, it would be
unconscionable to reward the Republican party’s constant betrayals of the
Constitution,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin about the GOP effort to push this
extreme legislation.^2

Congress must defend democracy and the rule of law from Trump’s attacks
and refuse to hand Trump power to install more judges.
