First Liberty



Dear  John,

On Feb. 5, 1937, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt initiated
America's first court-packing scheme.

It was dangerous back then. It's even more dangerous now..

Why? Because this notion is a direct assault on the Constitution
as we know it.

President Roosevelt even admitted as much in his address to the nation
84 years ago when he stated that his court-packing plan "seeks
to restore the Court...and to have it resume its high task of
building anew on the Constitution a system of living law."

"Living law?" Yes, you read that right.

In other words, this so-called "living Constitution"
doctrine calls for the Constitution's meaning to evolve and
change with new circumstances-without being formally amended.

It would make the Constitution's words flexible-ripe to be
twisted into whatever purpose is more convenient for the power
currently in office.

Of course, today's progressive radicals have picked up right
where FDR left off.

And as we've watched the government abuse its power to attack
our God-given liberties more than ever this past year, we know exactly
what a "living Constitution" would mean in 2021:

* More justices on the Supreme Court-we've heard
numbers as high as 15-appointed by the party in power, of
course.

* More legislating from the judicial bench, rather than following
the proper constitutional process of going through the
legislative branch.

* More abuse of government power, putting the whims of the ruling
party ahead of the will of the people. 

It's a grave threat not only to religious liberty, but to the
very foundation of our nation. And we MUST stop it.

As committed liberty-loving Americans, we must come together now to
call out and reject the dangerous notion of court-packing, and do
everything we can to ensure that "We the People" remain in
control of our government, as our founders intended.

I hope you'll join me as First Liberty leads this charge in the
coming weeks and months.

We'll need your prayers, and we'll need your gracious
financial support as we begin to expose the truth about this dangerous
idea for all of America to see.

In fact, our efforts begin this Thursday, February 11th, with a
special court-packing episode of First Liberty Live!. You can click
here to get on the watch list, and we'll send you the livestream
link on Thursday morning.

Together, let's make sure this year is NOT the one that makes
the nightmare of court-packing a reality.

Not on our watch.
