An open letter to the U.S. Congress

SCOTUS has gone rogue. CUT their funds. Legislate. NO 10% increase

The Supreme Court has destroyed its credibility and is betraying its fealty to the constitution. Decisions under Trump's second presidency show arbitrary motivated reasoning, misuse of evidence and blatant contempt for the constitution and precedent. It is no exaggeration to say humans have died because of the changes brought by Scotus decisions such as Dobbs. More will die if the SCOTUS removal of TPS for Haitians and Syrians is not blocked by Seth Moulton or Debbie Wasserman-Schultz's TPS bills. The constitution now has a nose of wax to be stretched hither and thither at will --always in support of privilege for the privileged-- in order to impose Jim Crow mark II and turn the president into a king. Although SCOTUS upheld birthright citizenship, the case should never have been heard: the constitution is emphatic and unambiguous on the subject of birthright citizenship. Scotus decisions have undermined our democracy, shredded the constitution, precedent, and natural justice. And diminished rights. Two of the justices stand credibly accused of sexual misdemeanors or assault. Several have accepted personal and financial favors that reek of impropriety. Others' spouses have entanglements that make their participation in certain cases inappropriate. Where recusals would have been required by a lower court , Scotus justices have refused to recuse, self-police, or even have an ethics code such as lower court judges do. Under John Roberts' tenure, the public perception of SCOTUS has sunk into the gutter. And now this corrupt dictator-enabling court is asking for a 10% increase in their budget?! At a time when snap benefits, health care subsidies, medical research, education and disaster preparedness are being slashed and billions are being spent on failed wars of choice, war crimes, and illegal vanity construction projects. I ask you to say NO and CUT the funds appropriated to SCOTUS: they are betraying the rule of law, precedent, and the constitution. They are doing the OPPOSITE of their constitutional role. Their activist extremism does not deserve a raise. Their ethical impropriety deserves a penalty and sanctions. Since you cannot dismiss them, I ask you to: --- make your disapproval known ---legislate to block or replace the most damaging recent decisions --- reduce the funds allocated to SCOTUS --- cut the justices' salaries ---DO NOT PAY FOR THE UNDERMINING OF RULE OF LAW! It would be a violation of your oath to remunerate these wreckers
