I am writing to express my strong support for H.R. 3422, the Judiciary Act of 2023, which proposes increasing the number of Justices on the Supreme Court from nine to thirteen. I believe this bill is essential for ensuring a fair and balanced judiciary that reflects the diverse views and needs of our nation.
The current composition of the Supreme Court does not adequately represent the broad spectrum of perspectives present in our society. Expanding the Court to thirteen Justices would help to address this imbalance and restore public confidence in our judicial system. It would also enable the Court to handle its increasing caseload more efficiently, ensuring that justice is delivered in a timely manner.
Moreover, expanding the Court is a necessary step to counteract recent attempts to undermine its impartiality and independence. The politicization of the Supreme Court threatens the foundational principles of our democracy. By supporting H.R. 3422, you would be taking a stand for a judiciary that is more representative, more effective, and less susceptible to political influence.
I urge you to vote in favor of the Judiciary Act of 2023 and to advocate for its passage among your colleagues. This legislation is critical for safeguarding the integrity of our Supreme Court and for upholding the democratic values that our nation cherishes.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to seeing your support for this vital legislation.
