Action 1: Tell Durin to Investigate SCOTUS
The Supreme Court term is finally over, with the MAGA supermajority leaving a string of disastrous decisions in their wake. This past month they:
Criminalized homelessness
Overturned a ban on bump stocks, leaving us all more vulnerable to gun violence
Empowered themselves, as unelected and unqualified justices, to make policy decisions instead of agency experts and elected Members of Congress
Sent two abortion cases back to the lower courts to stall the decisions, give MAGA judges more opportunities to restrict abortion access, and continue to let states implement more abortion and reproductive care bans
Made it harder for the Department of Justice to prosecute January 6 insurrectionists
Agreed that Trump has immunity for his crimes related to January 6, ensuring that his federal trials will be stalled until after the election
It’s completely unsurprising that the MAGA justices on the court ruled in favor of big corporations, special interests, and Donald Trump – they’ve demonstrated time and again that’s where their loyalty lies, not to the Constitution or the American people.
We need Senator Durbin, as chair of the Judiciary Committee, to lead a thorough investigation to hold these justices accountable. He must continue the investigation into Thomas and launch an investigation into Alito. He should also investigate the role that Chief Justice Roberts has played in the corruption. And he should not be afraid to subpoena justices, if necessary.
Call Senator Durbin and let him know that you’re outraged by the corruption on the Supreme Court and that you expect him to do what’s necessary to investigate corruption on the court.
