Re: Sign the petition to Congress: The Supreme Court needs reform NOW

Friend, the Supreme Court has issued a series of recent rulings that lay the groundwork for undoing our democracy. Americans should not have to face the consequences of these recent decisions–and past ones like overturning Roe–ruled on by a corrupt, stolen Supreme Court. We cannot continue to allow corruption in our Court. [Sign the petition to Congress: The Supreme Court needs reform NOW!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Recently the Court has: - [Basically legalized bribery](: In her powerful dissent criticizing the Supreme Court's decision in Snyder v. Doe, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argued that the court's ruling enables grifters to exploit the system, undermining the integrity of the judiciary and eroding public trust. - [Criminalized homelessness](: The court ruled that cities can enforce bans on homeless individuals sleeping outdoors, particularly in areas with available shelter options. - [Completely altered how our federal government functions:]( The court overturned the long-standing Chevron deference, a legal doctrine that required courts to defer to federal agencies' interpretation of ambiguous laws. This ruling reduces the power of federal regulators, potentially impacting environmental, health, and safety regulations. - [Presidential immunity](: Justice Sonia Sotomayor expressed strong dissent against the Supreme Court's decision granting former President Donald Trump broad immunity from prosecution. She argued that this ruling places Trump above the law, granting him unprecedented legal protections and undermining the principles of accountability and justice. These rulings are unacceptable. This court is putting itself above all legal precedent and the Constitution--all with unchecked power. Congress must immediately enact reforms to ensure accountability and reestablish trust in the court. [Sign the petition to Congress: Reform the Supreme Court!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thanks for all you do, Mayra Souza, Daily Kos P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding Supreme Court reform: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, the Supreme Court is mired in scandal and corruption. New revelations of misconduct arise almost weekly. This Court regularly makes decisions that affect our daily lives and, therefore, must have oversight and transparency around the bases for those decisions. This has not been the case and now, they no longer have that public trust. [Sign the petition to Congress: The Supreme Court needs reform NOW!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Recent revelations about Justices [Samuel Alito]( and [Clarence Thomas]( have sparked outrage and demands for greater accountability. The current system lacks checks and balances, allowing justices to operate with near impunity. For a democracy to thrive, we must hold all branches of government to the highest ethical standards, and the Supreme Court is no exception. The push for Supreme Court reform is gaining momentum in Congress. Senate Democrats are advancing a bill to impose an [ethics code]( on the Supreme Court, similar to those governing lower courts, but [Republicans]( are standing in the way. Additionally, moves to [expand the Supreme Court]( are underway by Democrats in Congress, but face the same Republican obstruction. We must make clear that corruption in our nation's highest court is unacceptable, and we won't stand for it. We are calling on Congress to immediately enact reforms–via codes of ethics and expansion–in order to ensure accountability and trust are reestablished in the Supreme Court.
