It’s time to expand the Supreme Court, John. And I don’t say this lightly.

It’s the most unrepresentative institution in the United States government. A socially conservative court of partisan justices determined to enact a partisan agenda — as evidenced by the leaked draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade.

It’s the result of Mitch McConnell withholding a justice when Barack Obama was president, and then forcing through a Trump-nominated justice as voters were electing Joe Biden. And then Justices lying under oath about Roe v. Wade. The court has been stacked by Republicans. Congress must unstack it.

Add your name to my petition demanding Congress expand the Supreme Court. Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell have gamed the system and the only way to fix it is to make this fundamental change.

Let’s be honest. The Supreme Court has lost its credibility as a neutral arbiter of the law. Sadly, most Americans now view the court as they must in the wake of this draft opinion: not a conservative legal court but merely a partisan one.

As a result of these actions by McConnell and Trump, the court is now in a position to force on America a policy regarding abortion that America does not agree with, that puts women’s health at risk and is disastrous for the country. But that’s not all — any court that will to throw out decades of settled law to eliminate a woman’s right to choose is willing to do the same to eliminate other rights inherent in the constitution, like same sex marriage and more.

The House has done its job to protect reproductive freedom. We passed the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. Now the Senate must abolish the filibuster and codify Roe v. Wade into law.

But we need to go further than that. As the danger is broad and implicates so many other rights, so must the remedy be broad. Add your name to my petition calling on Congress to expand the Supreme Court — after McConnell and Trump stacked the court, the only way to restore its legitimacy is to unstack it.

Our nation is at a crossroads, and we need to do everything we can to ensure the rights of the American people are protected.

Thanks for standing with me today,
