There is no more ambiguity; the Supreme Court is broken. Congress must act!
441 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!
New polling out this morning tells us what we already knew: Americans’ faith in the Supreme Court is plummeting. It seems impossible to believe that Americans once—and not too long ago, either—held the highest court in near-universal regard. Now the Supreme Court’s popularity is declining nearly as fast as the rate at which Americans are losing their freedoms. It’s a crisis, and it must be addressed.
The list of scandals plaguing the court and its conservative members is too long to be detailed here. That alone is alarming. Not a day goes by without a new one. Yet nothing is being done.
I want to be clear: if the U.S. congress doesn’t take action to repair the damaged standing of this Supreme Court—whether by forcing upon it a binding code of ethics, expanding it, impeaching Clarence Thomas, or all of the above—Americans will reach a point where we will simply refuse to abide by its rulings.
Congressional inaction on the court crisis is pushing us towards a Constitutional crisis. Do something. The Supreme Court is broken. Repair it, or our democracy will be the next thing to go. Thanks.
