ICYMI: LAST NIGHT’S MEHDI HASAN SHOW

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (May 16, 2022) — Last night, Take Back the Court Executive Director Sarah Lipton-Lubet appeared on MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan Show to explain why the movement to add seats to the Court is growing in strength and why expanding the Supreme Court is the only way to safeguard abortion rights and protect our democracy from the current right-wing justices’ attacks.

“Activists all over the country — people all over the country — are really coming to understand just how out of control this right-wing Supreme Court is, and they don’t want it in their lives,” Lipton-Lubet said. “They don’t want to be beholden to the whims of five unelected extremists, so support for this movement is growing all over the country — all the more so with each extreme, abhorrent action that this Court is taking.”

Take Back the Court raises awareness about the urgent need to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court to address the theft of the court by Senator Mitch McConnell during the Obama Administration. Without adding seats, Congress will not be able to restore the right to vote, ensure reproductive freedom, protect workers, halt our climate emergency, or pass new legislation. Court expansion, which can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment, is the only reform that enables the un-rigging of the system and the restoration of democracy.
