The Supreme Court’s extreme conservative majority is out of touch, out of control, and creating a legitimacy crisis for themselves.

The American people are losing confidence in the Court. And for good reason, with the Court’s dangerous decisions on abortion rights, climate action, gun safety, and more. They’re anti-union, they’re anti-consumer, and they've empowered corporations more than ever before — giving them religious liberty rights and letting them spend gobs of money to influence the political process.

The Court is tossing aside settled law and saying they're just going to substitute their own personal views and make the rest of America bend to it. Pure and simple, a tiny group of far-right radicals are trying to impose their unpopular views on the rest of us. And they’re not stopping — Clarence Thomas already said he’s coming after the LGBTQ+ community and coming after contraception.

And I’ll just say this: As a former law professor, if I were to grade the legal argument that was presented for overturning Roe v. Wade, it would get an F. This opinion basically cites a bunch of folks from the 1700s and says, "Boy, that's the way we want to go.” To a time when aristocrats ran the world. When the only people who had voices were white men. When slavery was a way to make money.

It deeply troubles me to think how six justices could care so little about the people who will pay the price. So now is the time to be angry. And now is the time to channel that anger into action. Let’s remind ourselves the Supreme Court doesn't get the final word. The final word rests with We The People.

So I’m going to keep fighting to rebalance this hijacked institution by expanding the Court — think of it as a democratic recalibration. Congress has already used that power seven times before, and it’s time to use it again.

I’m also going to stay focused on holding onto the House and electing two more pro-choice, anti-filibuster Democratic senators — because that’s what we need to codify Roe nationwide and reverse the Court’s horrifying injustice.

And we cannot let Republicans seize power. If they do, we’ve already seen their wishlist — and right at top, circled and underlined, is a nationwide ban on abortion. That means no safe havens anywhere.

There is still a path out of this. It is not a guaranteed path, but I guarantee you this: You don't get what you don't fight for. So I’m staying in this fight all the way.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
