An open letter to the U.S. Congress

VOTE NO on all 4 bills attacking the federal judiciary!

5,036 so far! Help us get to 10,000 signers!

I oppose all efforts to delegitimize court orders, threaten judges, and erode constitutional safeguards. These things fundamentally threaten American democracy. The fact that Republican congressmembers are now attempting to codify these authoritarian power grabs disgusts me. I want you to vote NO on the following pieces of legislation: —The Judicial Understaffing Delays Getting Emergencies Solved (JUDGES) Act (H.R. 1702) would grant President Trump authority to appoint 22 new lifetime district court judges, enabling him to stack federal courts with loyalists who would rubber-stamp his agenda and shield him from accountability. —The Promptly Ending Political Prosecutions and Executive Retaliation (PEPPER) Act (H.R. 1789) would dramatically expand executive power by allowing current and former executive branch officials to move cases against them from state to federal courts and requiring federal courts to dismiss virtually all cases against presidents and vice presidents—effectively placing them above the law. —The No Rogue Rulings (NORRA) Act (H.R. 1526) would prevent judges from granting relief beyond the parties directly before the court—impeding judicial relief for unconstitutional executive actions. —The Nationwide Injunction Abuse Prevention Act would similarly ban nationwide injunctions by district court judges. I urge the Congressmember to stand firm against the assaults on our democracy by rejecting the JUDGES Act, the PEPPER Act, and the NORRA Act. I’ll be watching your vote closely. Thanks.
