During last night's VP debate, JD Vance went on a rant about "censorship." Wonder what he thinks about Donald Trump's repeated threats to jail and fine Americans for exercising their constitutional right to criticize the Supreme Court...

The U.S. Supreme Court just sided with Arizona Republicans & the RNC to revive part of an AZ voter restriction.
Our reax: “Republicans have controlled the Supreme Court for decades, but these last few months, the justices are really letting their MAGA flags fly."

The good news is that the other branches are increasingly stepping in to assert their constitutional powers to rein in the court. Were especially heartened to see Senator Schumer include a provision to restrict the court’s jurisdiction over the #NoKingsAct. Our full statement (2/2)

Reforming this court is imperative. Ethics rules and term limits alone cannot fully restore balance and independence to #SCOTUS. But today’s announcement is a watershed moment in the fight to take back the court.

When Trump and McConnell packed the Supreme Court, this was the moment they anticipated. Now, their hand-picked supermajority has returned the ultimate favor.
The Roberts Court just declared an end to American democracy as we know it.

In her Moyle dissent, Justice Jackson explains exactly what the MAGA majority is doing: punting the question of whether pregnant women should be left to die in hospital waiting rooms so #SCOTUS can have a "do-over" at a "more convenient point in time."
