At its best, the Supreme Court has defended these ideals, but we can no longer ignore that it has become too political and too powerful.
An unaccountable, unethical majority on the Supreme Court is behaving as if the rules don’t apply to them. We’ve seen a barrage of ethicsal scandals, from the rising influence of special interest donors to justices ignoring clear conflicts of interest and ruling in cases even when their spouses stand to directly benefit.
Partisan justices are basing their decisions on politics and not the law. They have stripped women of the right to make the most important decisions of their lives. They are granting guns more rights than our kids, ripping voting rights to shreds, and ruling in lockstep with the rich and powerful.
It’s time for checks and balances to restore our democracy. Our Constitution gives Congress the ability to check the Supreme Court’s power, including by passing a law to change its size. Adding four more justices would not only restore balance to the Supreme Court, it also would restore balance between our three branches of government.
Fairness, not partisanship, must dictate what’s right, but this Court is taking advantage of a stacked deck to unleash deeply unpopular, illegitimate rulings opposed by the American majority. If we let the status quo stand, our kids will have fewer and fewer rights than we did.
It’s time for a national conversation about adding justices so the Court can once again advance justice and equality. If that means expanding the Supreme Court to 13 Justices, so be it.
