Vote NO on H.J.Res.1: Keep Congress’s Power to Check the Court
The House votes Wednesday, September 2, on H.J.Res.1, a constitutional amendment that would freeze the Supreme Court at nine justices forever and strip Congress of a power it has used seven times since 1789, including under Lincoln, to check a runaway judiciary. This Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais, granted presidents sweeping immunity in Trump v. United States, and overturned Dobbs. Only 33 percent of Americans approve of the Supreme Court, yet 54 percent support expanding it. H.J.Res.1 would lock in a GOP-appointed majority into the 2060s and take reform off the table for good.
