Hi John, I want to hear from you.
Last week, the Supreme Court accepted a case regarding a 2018 Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks. With a conservative supermajority on the court, abortion rights are now facing the greatest threat in decades.
Not only is this dangerous for abortion rights, it’s a symptom of a larger problem in our courts. We have too few judges at all levels of the judiciary, which is why I’ve already introduced legislation to expand the Supreme Court to 13 seats, and support expanding our lower courts throughout the country.
I’m taking action right now, but I want to hear from you: Do you think that expanding the Supreme Court is more urgent than ever?
For decades, Congress worked together to grow our judicial system when required. But for too long, partisanship has stalled any effort to expand the courts to meet the needs of Americans.
Courts in the U.S. have been taking fewer and fewer cases over the past few decades, and the cases they do take are more politically motivated. When the Supreme Court accepted the case potentially restricting abortion, they declined to take up a case about racial slurs in the workplace.
I always want to hear from my supporters on important issues. Do you think we need urgent action on court reform?
Yours,
Hank
