Re: How do we fix the Supreme Court?

LBR wants to hear from YOU → Here’s where we are. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ {NAME}, did you see our message from last week? This current Supreme Court has uprooted years of established law and dismantled so many protections against pollution, gun violence, and restrictions on people's bodily autonomy. We have to do something to change this, and LBR wants to hear from as many supporters as possible. We're hoping to get 103 more responses by Thursday. So {NAME}, will you take a few minutes to share your thoughts about how we can fix the Supreme Court so that our rights are protected? [You can fill out the survey by clicking here →]( Thank you! Team LBR —Begin Forwarded Message— [Lisa Blunt Rochester for Congress]( [Lisa Blunt Rochester for Congress]( SURVEY RESPONSE REQUESTED How do we fix the Supreme Court? RESPONDENT: {EMAIL} SURVEY STATUS: 0% Complete [TAKE THE SURVEY]( The Supreme Court has used its recent term to restrict women's rights, make our communities less safe, and set back policies to protect our environment. Just in the last month, the court has: - Gutted states’ ability to implement common-sense gun reforms - Blurred the line of separation between church and state - Overturned Roe v. Wade and let states implement harsh abortion bans that leave zero exception for life of the mother, rape, or incest - Severely limited the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gasses that cause climate change And it's only going to get worse from here on out, {NAME}. The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, for example, has the potential to uproot other issues concerning the constitutional right to privacy — such as same-sex marriage, access to contraceptives, or any number of rights that we hold dear. And in the next term, we could see this court further dismantle the Voting Rights Act. To mitigate the immediate damage from this court's recent rulings, LBR is focused right now on solutions in Congress – including legislation that codifies the right to an abortion. But we also have to fundamentally re-evaluate how the Supreme Court operates in relation to our legislature. When an unelected group of extreme judges can undo decades of precedent and uproot people's fundamental rights — in clear defiance of the popular will — something needs to change. So we want to hear from you. [Can you take a minute to fill out our survey and tell LBR your thoughts on how we can fix the Supreme Court?]( [Take the Survey]( It’s important to remember how we got here. This court's current right-wing majority owes itself to dirty tricks and unprecedented actions by Republicans that defied American voters. In 2016, Mitch McConnell held up the nomination of Merrick Garland for nearly one year, all to deny President Obama the pick on the court that he deserved. And just mere days before the 2020 election, Donald Trump rushed to appoint Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Quite frankly, it's an insult to the foundations of our country that a third of this court was appointed by a President who routinely broke the law and tried to instigate a coup. LBR is prepared to work tirelessly to protect our rights and strengthen our democracy, but she can’t do this alone. This is why your voice is so important.
