For anyone without ritzy connections, the odds of getting a case in front of the Supreme Court in 2021 is like winning the lottery.
This inequitable dynamic is because of a scarcity of Supreme Court Justices. While the United States traditionally expanded our highest court when circuit courts expanded, our Supreme Court has instead been frozen in motion for over a hundred years. This has resulted in a cottage industry where big named lawyers can pass through the doors of the court, but everyone else has the doors slammed in their face.
That’s not how it’s supposed to work, and it’s a two-tiered system of justice that can’t be ignored. That’s why I’ve proposed a bill to fix the Supreme Court.
But this won’t be an easy fight. And far-right special interests are already attacking me for proposing my legislation.
-
Fox News has come out and said it’s, “Impossible to take Hank Johnson seriously.”
-
The largest and most influential gathering of conservatives in the world, CPAC, has attacked me by name.
-
And Mike Huckabee has deliberately spread misinformation about me, falsely tweeting out to his hundreds of thousands of followers that I’ve withdrawn from the effort to fix the Supreme Court.
These attacks are just the start, John, and I will need grassroots support to help me keep up this fight. Will you consider pitching in $15 or $20 so I can get out the truth about our Supreme Court reform proposal?
In solidarity,
Hank
