   The U.S. Supreme Court is the most dangerous government institution right now. They’re on a right-wing power-grabbing spree that is completely out of step with the American public, and they do not care. We have no mechanism for holding them accountable, and it’s only going to get worse from here. This year’s presidential race should be about making the court accountable to be people: ethics investigations into the Thomas’s bribery and the insurrectionist leanings of the Thomas’s and Alito’s, and expanding the court to undo the disastrous effects of the Trump appointees. And in this messaging, you point to Trump who installed two far-right justices on the courts and is personally benefiting from their undermining of our rights. It’s We The People vs. The Supreme Court right now, and the deck is stacked in their favor.

     This should be an easy case to make in an election year: this court stripped away women’s rights that were “settled law” for 50 years. This court literally redefined the word “bribery” amidst an ongoing bribery scandal. This court has members who have monetarily and publicly supported the January 6th insurrection, yet won’t recuse from cases about it. They are so clearly corrupt, but unlike Trump, there’s no showmanship to mask the lies or the corruption. Target them, blame Trump for giving them power, and use that mandate to strip them of their power.
