Demand your Senator Cosponsor the Judiciary Act
The Supreme Court, which is stacked with MAGA justices hand-picked by Republicans and dark money groups, is completely out of control.
During this most recent term, the MAGA supermajority:
- Criminalized homelessness
- Overturned a ban on bump stocks, leaving us all more vulnerable to gun violence
- Empowered themselves, as unelected and unqualified justices, to make policy decisions instead of agency experts and elected Members of Congress
- Sent two abortion cases back to the lower courts to stall the decisions, give MAGA judges more opportunities to restrict abortion access, and continue to let states implement more abortion and reproductive care bans
- Made it harder for the Department of Justice to prosecute January 6th insurrectionists
- Agreed that Trump has immunity for his crimes related to January 6th, ensuring that his federal trials will be stalled until after the election
It’s completely unsurprising that the MAGA justices on the court ruled in favor of big corporations, special interests, and Donald Trump -- they’ve demonstrated time and again that’s where their loyalty lies, not to the Constitution or the American people.
Republican billionaires and dark-money groups have been buying influence with Clarence Thomas for years: taking him on luxury vacations on private jets and megayachts, gifting him free RVs, buying and renovating his mom’s house for her, and paying the private school tuition for one of his family members. And Samuel Alito has been caught flying flags supporting the January 6th insurrection about his houses multiple times, displaying his loyalty to the MAGA movement for his whole neighborhood to see. And those are just the scandals we know about!
It’s clear that these MAGA justices cannot be fair and impartial arbiters of the law. In fact, our democracy is in danger the longer that they have the majority on the bench. The only way to save our constitutional and civil rights is to expand the Supreme Court by passing the Judiciary Act of 2023 (S. 1616). Every single issue we care about is at risk with this conservative MAGA majority in power at the Court. That’s why we must act now to unrig our courts before it’s too late.
The Judiciary Act provides the most urgent solution to a Supreme Court that has been captured by conservative extremists. This bill would add four additional justices to the bench to match the number of circuit courts, and undo the decades of conservative court-packing that got us into this mess. The Constitution does not require a set number of Supreme Court justices and the number has fluctuated over the years.
We must expand the Supreme Court. Ask your Senator to cosponsor the bill to restore legitimacy to the court.

Demand Your Senator Cosponsor the Judiciary Act
Hello, I’m a constituent from [part of state] and I am calling to urge Senator [NAME] to co-sponsor the Judiciary Act, the bill to expand the Supreme Court by four seats.
After the disastrous decisions made during this last term, it is clear that the Supreme Court is not a fair arbiter of justice in this country. I have lost confidence that the Court will uphold our democracy or my constitutional rights.
Expanding the Supreme Court will undo the damage that has been done and would restore faith and trust in the institution. Will Senator [NAME] co-sponsor the Judiciary Act? We must act now to save our rights and our democracy.
