Yesterday, Politico published a leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision. It suggests that the Court could be on the verge of striking down Roe v. Wade, a controversial decision that ruled the Constitution protects women’s right to have an abortion.
Because this doesn’t favor their political agenda, the Left is renewing its radical scheme to pack the Supreme Court. Here’s what some are saying following the leak:
“A stolen, illegitimate, and far-right Supreme Court majority appears set to destroy the right to abortion, an essential right which protects the health, safety, and freedom of millions of Americans. There is no other recourse. We must expand the court.” Sen. Ed Markey
“Overturning Roe would put the lives of women across the country at risk. It would fly in the face of decades of precedent and the overwhelming majority of public opinion. And they will not stop here. Expand the court.” Rep. Ilhan Omar
“Abolish the filibuster. Codify Roe. Expand the Supreme Court. Protect abortion rights by any means necessary. We need all of the above. This is an emergency.” Rep. Cori Bush
Their response exposes what court-packing really is: a brazen power grab. The Left’s proposal to add more seats and “reform” the Supreme Court is nothing but a disguise to rig the judicial system in their favor.
Instead of an independent branch, proponents of court-packing view the Supreme Court as a tool to rubber stamp their radical policies.
Any ruling that doesn’t go their way provides one more excuse to advocate the addition of partisan justices. The Left’s scheme to stage a Supreme Court Coup has always been about getting around decisions they don’t like.
Court-packing is dangerous. It threatens the integrity and independence of the Supreme Court. If implemented, the result would be catastrophic for our country.
It would be the gateway to tyranny, the beginning of an America where religious liberty and all other freedoms granted by God are denied by the heavy hand of government.
Americans must step up and reject this blatant Supreme Court Coup.
More than 400,000 Americans have already made their voice heard by joining First Liberty’s national coalition of patriots who say “NO!” to court packing. With your help, we’ve already made a tremendous impact in stopping this radical scheme.
Make no mistake, however. Court-packing advocates are more emboldened than ever. They are not going to stop until they get their way.
