Hey John,
The momentum to add seats to the Supreme Court continues to grow. I’m proud of the work you and I are doing to save our rights and our democracy.
With the Judiciary Act -- legislation to #ExpandTheCourt -- currently being considered in Congress, I wanted to take a moment to provide answers to a few common Court reform questions I get asked a lot.

Why do we need to reform the Supreme Court?
We need to add seats to the bench to restore balance and ensure our Court better reflects the whole country, not just special interests and the Republican Party. The 6-3 Republican supermajority on the Court is deciding cases in a consistently partisan, anti-democracy, pro-corporate direction -- like gutting voting rights, allowing partisan gerrymandering that primarily benefits Republican politicians and special interests, and opening the floodgates to unlimited spending in elections in cases like Citizens United.
Why is adding seats to the Court the right solution?
Adding seats is the only way to restore balance to a partisan Court. The process is straightforward, constitutional, and grounded in history: Congress has changed the number of justices seven times throughout history. All it takes is a bill passed through Congress and signed by the president.
How does Court reform relate to other democracy reforms in the news?
There is a major effort among Democrats in Congress right now to pass democracy reform bills like HR 1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. We believe these bills should pass in the course of the next year. Our goal is to make the Judiciary Act part of this package of must-pass democracy reforms.
Can we really get this done?
Yes. But not without support from Court reform champions like you.
Make sure lawmakers vote YES to passing the Judiciary Act to add seats to the Supreme Court! Make a donation today to get us to the finish line!
