TAKE BACK THE COURT RESPONDS TO BIDEN WHITE HOUSE COURT COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENT

“The Supreme Court is a danger to the health and well-being of the nation and even to democracy itself. This White House judicial reform commission has a historic opportunity to both explain the gravity of the threat and to help contain it. But we don’t have time to spend six months studying the issue — especially without a promise of real conclusions at the end. The solution is already clear. Adding seats is the only way to restore balance to the Court, and Congress should get started right away.”

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 legislation. Court expansion, which can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment, is the only reform that enables the un-rigging of the system and the restoration of democracy.
