An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Reform the Supreme Court Before It's Too Late

135 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

Democracy in this country cannot survive with the current Court in place, and I need you to act on Supreme Court reform now. The Court has claimed a monopoly on constitutional interpretation that the Constitution never granted it. Judicial review — the power to strike down laws — is not the same as judicial supremacy, and Congress has real tools to push back: adding justices, stripping jurisdiction, cutting budgets. Use them. This isn't radical. For most of American history, all three branches shared responsibility for interpreting the Constitution. The idea that the Court gets the final word only hardened into consensus after the Bork hearings, and it has warped our politics ever since — turning every confirmation into a crisis and handing the Federalist Society a decades-long project to capture the judiciary for ideological ends. Legislators who shrug and say "we'll pass it and let the Court decide" are abdicating their constitutional duty. With the presidency and the Court now acting in concert, the states and Congress are the last meaningful check. That's not a talking point — it's the constitutional design. Stop deferring to a Court that has stopped deferring to anyone. Reform is both legitimate and essential, and I'm watching to see who has the spine to say so.
