The Supreme Court has enormous power over our lives, our rights, and our democracy.
Right now, that power is being exploited by a right-wing supermajority that has damaged public trust, weakened voting rights, expanded corporate power, rolled back hard-won freedoms, and placed itself at the center of some of the most consequential political fights in the country.
A Court entrusted with interpreting the law should be guided by fairness, impartiality, and fidelity to the Constitution. Instead, this Supreme Court has repeatedly handed down rulings that advance the priorities of the right-wing legal movement, even when – especially when – those decisions undermine the rights and freedoms of millions of people.
The Constitution does not set the number of Supreme Court justices. Congress does. And throughout United States history, Congress has changed the size of the Court multiple times.
That history matters. Opponents of reform want people to believe the current Court is untouchable. It is not. Congress has the authority and the responsibility to respond when the Court’s structure no longer serves the public interest.
And the public is demanding action. Polling has shown strong bipartisan support for major Supreme Court reform. People across the political spectrum can see that a Court this powerful and dangerous cannot be left this unaccountable.
The Far Right can see it too. That is why right-wing legal organizations are starting to panic, warning their supporters that calls to expand the Supreme Court are growing louder and trying to discredit reform before the movement gains even more ground.
They know exactly what is at stake.
For decades, the Far Right has used the courts to advance an agenda they could never fully win at the ballot box. Now that more people are demanding accountability, balance, and real structural reform, they are rushing to keep the Supreme Court majority that has delivered for them again and again.
This is the same Court that gutted key protections of the Voting Rights Act, opened the floodgates to big money in politics, and overturned Roe v. Wade. Unless Congress is willing to act boldly, this right-wing supermajority will keep shaping the future of our democracy for decades.
Expanding the Supreme Court must be part of the push for real reform. It is a necessary response to a Court that has become too powerful, too political, and too insulated from the consequences of its own decisions.
We need to continue building visible public pressure. And we need Congress to hear that expansion cannot be dismissed, delayed, or taken off the table.
Sign the petition now and urge Congress to support expanding the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court should not be above accountability. It should not be shielded from reform. And it should not be allowed to keep using its power to undermine our rights and our democracy without a serious response from Congress and the American People.
