Dear John,

While we fight to place judges on the bench, AFJ will not lose sight of the other threats facing our courts. Because the Supreme Court still stands at a 6-3 conservative majority, any progress we want to make will face a hostile Court that is more than happy to let unconstitutional laws stand. 

 

One of our primary focuses is fighting the shadow docket. In recent years, the conservative majority has weaponized its procedures, traditionally used to handle uncontroversial issues, to enact a radical agenda. These decisions come down, without the full Court — or the public — having properly heard the merits of a case. In just the last few months, the Court:  

• Refused to block a ruling in Texas’s lowest federal court forcing President Biden to reinstate former President Trump’s unlawful “remain in Mexico” policy;  
• Ruled to end the nationwide eviction moratorium enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic; and 
• Greenlit Texas’s unconstitutional SB8 law banning abortions after six weeks.

There is only one solution to stop these abuses: Court Reform. AFJ has studied and lobbied for:  

• Supreme Court expansion; 
• Increased scrutiny and limited use of the shadow docket; and 
• An enhanced judicial code of ethics that applies to all Article 3 judges, including the justices of the Supreme Court.  

Your support will help us further our reach and strengthen our advocacy around these critical reforms before it is too late.
