John,

In 2016, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans stonewalled President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland for nearly a year. They didn’t even give him a hearing.

After President Trump was elected, they wasted no time packing federal courts with extreme, far-right judges. After Justice Ginsburg passed away, they rushed to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, securing a 6-3, far-right supermajority on the Court. Their partisan power grab will rig the Court to rule in the GOP’s favor for decades — unless we act now.

Today, I’m introducing the Judiciary Act of 2021 with Senator Ed Markey, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, and House Courts Subcommittee Chairman Hank Johnson. This bill would add 4 seats to the Supreme Court, immediately reversing the Republicans’ theft of the Court. If you agree that we must unpack and restore balance to the Court, add your name to our petition.

Today’s Court has routinely sided with corporate interests and Republican Party donors over working families, and it is completely out of touch with the majority of Americans.

Its decisions have gutted the Voting Rights Act, invited unlimited dark money spending in our elections, and cleared the path for the kind of racist voter purges that stole the election from Stacey Abrams in Georgia.

By expanding the Court, we can stop this assault on our democracy and restore power to the people, not special interests.

If we fail to expand the Supreme Court, we risk losing all of the progress we’ve made in the last few decades — and with voting rights being eroded, we will cease to have a democracy.

Become a citizen co-sponsor of the Judiciary Act by signing our petition today. For the sake of our democracy, it is absolutely critical that we pass this bill.

Thank you for adding your voice. We must make it clear to Congress and the White House that working Americans want a balanced Supreme Court so that we can get to work on passing our bold, progressive agenda.

Onward,
Mondaire
