Hi, 

BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren just announced her support for
expanding the Supreme Court, in order to protect our democracy and reclaim
the Court from its hijacking by Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump.

"This extremist court has shown that it is not interested in advancing the
equal administration of justice. It's time to rebalance the Supreme Court
to create one that is," wrote Warren in announcing her position.^1 And
she's absolutely right.

Warren had not previously spoken out in support of expanding the Supreme
Court, and her announcement is a major sign that momentum is building
around this crucial tool to save our democracy. Now is the time to make
sure our leaders hear this message.

"This court's lawlessness is a powerful threat to our democracy and our
country," said Warren in her announcement. And she's right.

The right-wing majority on the Supreme Court has gone on a spree of
right-wing activism that has delighted the conservative base while
curtailing our basic rights and freedoms.

This Court has undermined immigrant rights, refused to protect abortion
rights, and undertaken a major expansion of corporate power. The Supreme
Court struck down key portions of the Voting Rights Act, and gutted
campaign finance laws with Citizens United.

Polls show the American people see that this Supreme Court
isn't legitimate.^2 We aren't going to fix that or save our democracy and
basic rights with minor tweaks. We need to rebalance this court -- NOW.

Unfortunately, time is running out. In order to expand the Supreme Court
and get new justices on the federal bench before Congress is consumed with
upcoming elections, they must act fast.
