John,
Did you get a chance to read Robert Reich's message below about reforming the Supreme Court?
I hope you'll take a moment to read through it then add your name to make sure that Congress doesn't just sit back and watch the Supreme Court end access to abortion care.
John,
Right now, the Supreme Court looks primed to deliver a huge blow to abortion rights in America by significantly undermining Roe v. Wade and potentially overturning it completely.
Republicans in numerous states are effectively trying to ban abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy, even in cases of rape and incest. Many people don’t even realize they’re pregnant at that stage, and if the Supreme Court upholds these laws, the attacks will just keep on coming.
There is no exaggeration when we say that the GOP is coming after Roe v. Wade like never before and they are closer than they have ever been to succeeding.
And the damage the Supreme Court’s 6-3 radical right-wing majority will cause with even more time cannot be underestimated.
That’s why Congress must pursue multiple solutions to unrig the Supreme Court, including:
-Enforcing ethics standards
-Requiring financial disclosures
-Expanding the Court
-Rotating justices
If Democrats sit on their hands and do nothing, the Court might never be accountable to the American people again.
Will you stand with DFA and me as we call on Congress to reform and expand the Court before it’s too late??
Are we really going to sit back and watch the Supreme Court end access to abortion care? Democrats are not powerless here. And these reforms aren’t even radical.
In fact, Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times before.
For the sake of our democracy and abortion rights, they must pursue it for the eighth time.
Make no mistake about it, Republicans have shown that they are willing to abuse power by using the judicial branch to move their legislative agenda forward.
Democrats must act as a check on this power and restore the legitimacy of the Supreme Court by pushing for a set of reforms well within the purview of the Constitution.
Stand with DFA and me as we call on Congress to reform and expand the Court, and to ensure the Supreme Court is truly a nonpartisan institution.
Thank you for taking action.
In solidarity,
Robert Reich
