WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus endorsed the Judiciary Act of 2021, which would restore balance to the Supreme Court by adding four seats to protect our most sacred rights from the right-wing supermajority appointed to the bench by Donald Trump.
“The Congressional Progressive Caucus’s endorsement of the Judiciary Act shows a growing understanding in Congress that restoring balance to the Supreme Court is imperative to protect our constitutional rights and freedoms from the Republican supermajority’s relentless pursuit of a far-right political agenda.
