HERE’S HOW WE PUT COURT EXPANSION ON THE MAP IN 2019

Movement Gains Major Momentum Heading into 2020 Presidential Election

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (December 20, 2019)—

Court expansion was a taboo subject for 81 years (from 1937 until 2018), in contrast to last night’s presidential debate, where there were multiple questions about how candidates would handle the judiciary.

This 90 second video shows how we put court expansion on the map in 2019:

“We are proud that in just one year of explaining why democracy restoration requires an expansion of the Supreme Court, Take Back the Court put the topic onto the national agenda,” said Aaron Belkin, Executive Director of Take Back the Court. “Our work is waking people up to the fact that every policy discussed on last night’s debate stage is dead on arrival without a plan for the courts.”

Thanks for checking out and sharing our video!

Take Back the Court raises awareness about the urgent need to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court to address the theft of the court by Senator Mitch McConnell during the Obama Administration. Without adding seats, Congress will not be able to restore the right to vote, ensure reproductive freedom, protect workers, halt our climate emergency, or pass new progressive legislation. Court expansion is the only reform that enables the un-rigging of the system and the restoration of democracy and that can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment.
