Corruption in our Supreme Court is embarrassing, dangerous, and unacceptable. From what I’ve read and heard in the news, at least four Justices have been installed to rule for a selectively wealthy few. There need to be investigations into Justices who have taken money and perks from people or groups with business before the Court.
Lifetime appointments, aren’t those typically reserved for monarchy who answer to no one? Why the founding fathers thought it was a good idea to bestow such an honor on the position of a Supreme Court Justice is, in my opinion, naive and sets up the nation for disaster when less than honorable actions are pursued. We’re supposed to be progressing as a nation. Yet, nearly 30% of Americans have lost access to reproductive healthcare because a fringe partisan group wants to force their self-righteous dictatorial religious beliefs on the entire nation. Voting rights are being attacked at multiple levels of government, with partisan groups searching for the metaphorical weakest links to break to undermine our democracy and make our votes/voice potentially meaningless. The LGBTQIA+ community is being targeted by hate groups and unjustly persecuted simply for existing. By definition, the Justices are supposed to be a “unifying force,” and far too often, I’m not seeing that happen. The President of the United States has the power to nominate Justices, and given the nation’s growth rate, I think it’s about time to add more seats to restore balance and faith in our judicial system. A logical and easily enforceable ‘code of ethics’ also needs to be established for the highest Court. America is losing its honor and dignity at an alarming rate. We are in a crisis that needs our attention so that, as a nation, we won’t perish.
If you are not already, I’m requesting that you support rebalancing the Court by co-sponsoring HR 3422, the Judiciary Act of 2023, and HR 926, the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal and Transparency Act. Once again, I’ll emphasize term limits for Supreme Court Justices need to be addressed. We need SCOTUS reform now. Thank you.
