Dear Friend,
Your participation in Hillsdale
Collegeâs National Survey on the United States Supreme
Court is requested.
Your response will only take a few minutes, but the subject is crucial to
the future of liberty and the separation of powers in America.
In an interview published in Imprimis, Hillsdaleâs digest of
liberty, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Clarence Thomas explained what he
sees as his role on the nationâs highest court: âMy job is to apply
the Constitution.â
But progressives see the Court differently. They want activist judges to
legislate from the bench.
Do you agree that the
role of the Supreme Court is to apply the Constitution as it is written and NOT to
make laws or advance a particular policy agenda?
YES
NO
Even worse, progressives dismayed by recent Supreme
Court decisions want to âpackâ the bench with additional justices to advance a
preferred policy agenda.
As Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) put it in a Boston
Globe op-ed: âTo restore balance and integrity to a broken institution,
Congress must expand the Supreme Court by four or more seats.â
What is your opinion about the Supreme Courtâs role in our constitutional
republic?
Please share your thoughts with me using the
Collegeâs National Survey on the United States Supreme Court
right away.
Your response will help Hillsdale form effective strategies to educate
millions of Americans about the importance of the Constitution to
liberty—including the proper role of an independent judiciary that applies
the Constitution instead of legislating from the bench.

And after you give your views, I hope you will consider supporting
Hillsdale College with a tax-deductible gift.
The failure of too many of Americaâs schools to provide young people with
a proper education in American history and government makes it easier for
progressives to undermine the separation of powers at the heart
of limited government.
Iâm sure you agree that too many Americans do not understand the role of
an independent judiciary in preserving our constitutional order.
Thatâs why Hillsdale College has expanded its educational outreach
efforts on behalf of liberty nationwide,
directly reaching and teaching millions
of Americans in all 50 states—including yours!
These efforts counter the influence of anti-American ideology being
taught in classrooms all across America.
Your support will help us to expand our educational outreach,
including:
- Teaching millions of citizens nationwide
through free online courses, such as âConstitution 101: The Meaning and History of
the Constitutionâ and âThe U.S. Supreme Court.â
- Reaching over six million households and
businesses nationwide with Imprimis, Hillsdaleâs free digest of
liberty—featuring issues such as âClarence Thomas and the Lost
Constitution.â
- Sending millions of pocket-size copies of
Americaâs founding documents to citizens, teachers, and students in K-12 schools
across America.
- Restoring excellence to K-12 education by
launching and providing ongoing guidance to over 70 classical K-12 charter schools
nationwide that offer a strong American history and civics curriculum.
We undertake our educational outreach efforts
on behalf of liberty—as we do all of our work—without
accepting a penny of government funding, not even indirectly in the form of
federal or state student grants or loans.
That means all of our work—including reaching and teaching millions
about Americaâs great heritage of liberty—depends entirely on the support of
Americans like you, who understand the importance of education to
liberty.
Please share your thoughts with Hillsdale using the
Collegeâs National Survey on the United States Supreme
Court right away—the link is below.

liberty.
