BREAKING NEWS: 6 Republican Supreme Court justices just struck down a New
York State gun safety law -- choosing guns over children. Clarence Thomas
wrote the opinion.
Once again, this Supreme Court has issued a political ruling that goes
against the will of the people.
More anti-democratic decisions are expected soon that could end abortion
rights, weaken federal protections for voting rights, block federal
efforts to address climate change, and more.
[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION TO CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE: "This Supreme Court
is increasingly facing a legitimacy crisis. Congress must consider Court
reforms aimed at restoring the American people’s trust and confidence in
the Supreme Court."
The AP reports: "In a major expansion of gun rights, the Supreme Court
said Thursday that Americans have a right to carry firearms in public for
self-defense. The decision is expected to ultimately allow more people to
legally carry guns on the streets of the nation’s largest cities --
including New York, Los Angeles and Boston -- and elsewhere."
A recent Politico poll shows that 88% of Americans support requiring
background checks on all gun sales. 85% of Americans support preventing
sales of all firearms to people reported as dangerous by a mental health
provider.
We're telling Congress and the White House: [ [link removed] ]The American people's
confidence in our democracy itself is being shaken by this Court’s
political rulings that consistently go against the will of the people.
It's time to reform the Court.
Unelected Justices serving life terms have increasingly made partisan
decisions that undermine the fundamental rights of more than 300 million
Americans.
Two Justices have faced credible sexual harassment and assault accusations
and are not trusted by the American people to decide the future of women’s
reproductive rights.
Five Justices were appointed by Republican presidents who lost the popular
vote, yet they are imposing a political agenda that limits the rights and
freedoms of all Americans.
The Republican-appointed Supreme Court majority consistently looks out for
the wealthy and powerful instead of protecting workers’ rights and the
constitutional rights of all Americans.
Today, this Supreme Court bucked the will of the people and sided with
partisan extremists on guns. And it is on track to do even more damage in
the coming days and weeks.
[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION TO CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE: "This Supreme Court
is increasingly facing a legitimacy crisis. Congress must consider Court
reforms aimed at restoring the American people’s trust and confidence in
the Supreme Court."
We will share the support for this petition with the media, the White
House, and key allies in Congress.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
