Take Back the Court Statement on Trump's Supreme Court Shortlist

“As usual, Trump is saying out loud what we all know: he will appoint justices who use the Supreme Court to help the Republican Party, not to protect our democracy or Constitution. Anyone who is not talking about structural Court reform at this point is not paying attention.” -- Aaron Belkin, Executive Director, Take Back the Court

Aaron Belkin is Director of Take Back The Court. During his 20 years of work on LGBT policy advocacy, he has been recognized as a leader in the effort to end DADT and the military's transgender ban.
