Supreme Court expansion bill S. 1616 - Crucial consideration needed

To: Sen. Thune, Rep. Johnson, Sen. Rounds

From: A verified voter in Rapid City, SD

December 10

The proposed Judiciary Act of 2023 seeks to expand the number of Supreme Court associate justices from 8 to 12, with a new quorum of 8 required for proceedings. This restructuring presents an opportunity to counterbalance the long-term impacts of the Citizens United decision, which has enabled unchecked corporate influence in elections through unlimited political spending. By appointing justices committed to overturning Citizens United and reducing the corrosive role of money in politics, this legislation could help restore integrity to America's democratic process and amplify the voices of ordinary citizens over special interests and dark money groups.
