I just introduced the Judiciary Act of 2021 with Senator Ed Markey, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, and House Courts Subcommittee Chairman Hank Johnson.

This bill would add 4 seats to the Supreme Court, immediately reversing the Republicans’ theft of the Court by expanding it from 9 Justices to 13.

If you agree that we must unpack and restore balance to the Court, add your name to our petition.

After President Trump was elected, Republicans wasted no time packing federal courts with extreme, far-right judges. After Justice Ginsburg passed away, they rushed to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, securing a 6-3, far-right supermajority on the Court.

The Republican's partisan power grab will rig the Court to rule in the GOP’s favor for decades -- unless we act now.

Today’s Court has routinely sided with corporate interests and Republican Party donors over working families, and it is completely out of touch with the majority of Americans.

Its decisions have gutted the Voting Rights Act, invited unlimited dark money spending in our elections, and cleared the path for the kind of racist voter purges that stole the election from Stacey Abrams in Georgia.

By expanding the Court, we can stop this assault on our democracy and restore power to the people, not special interests.

If we fail to expand the Supreme Court, we risk losing all of the progress we’ve made in the last few decades -- and with voting rights being eroded, we will cease to have a democracy.

SIGN THE PETITION TODAY. For the sake of our democracy, we must expand the Supreme Court.

I was proud to have the PCCC with me in my run for Congress in 2020. They'll keep me up to date as this petition grows, so I can share the support and momentum for this effort with my colleagues in Congress.

Onward,

-- Congressman Mondaire Jones, New York 17th Congressional District
