THE SUPREME COURT MAY GREENLIGHT A FRINGE SCHEME THAT THREATENS THE CORE OF DEMOCRACY

On January 6, 2021, insurrectionists infiltrated the U.S. Capitol Building in a lethal attempt to stop the final certification of legitimate election results, murder the vice president, and attack Democratic members of Congress. Along with baseball bats, stun guns, and pipe bombs, they were part of a movement wielding a fringe legal scheme that right-wing leaders planted throughout the 2020 election cycle: the Independent State Legislature Theory (ISLT).

ISLT aims to nearly abolish checks and balances for state laws pertaining to federal elections. Now, the right-wing justices on the Supreme Court have created an opportunity to legitimize ISLT before the 2024 presidential election in Moore v. Harper. The stakes could not be higher. Our memo details this case and the fringe scheme driving it:

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.
