Judge Jackson’s nomination is an inspiring step forward in ensuring the Supreme Court looks like the country it represents, but she is not a token or a savior. We must confirm Judge Jackson, and then we must expand the Court and send her four new colleagues.
As excited as we are to see Judge Jackson make history, we know that one new justice won’t be enough to restore balance to the Supreme Court itself, whose conservative justices have happily turned the institution into a weapon in our new culture wars. The Court is no longer an institution that we can count on to protect our constitutional rights or our democracy. Judge Jackson will be a welcome addition to the Court, but if we really want to change things, we must add seats as well.
Russia's actions are a series of horrific, violent aggressions led by Putin and his oligarchs. The terrible human cost of this escalating conflict is a direct result of their aggression. Our hearts are with the people of Ukraine.

While we expect the future nominee to be highly qualified, she alone cannot save the Supreme Court from the far-right takeover. The balance of the Supreme Court will still be stacked 6-3 in favor of conservatives. The only way to unrig the courts is to expand it by at least four seats.
President Biden’s nominee hasn’t even been announced yet and Republicans are already tripping over themselves to say the most racist thing they can think of about her. Republicans in the Senate only know how to do three things: eat hot chip, be racist, and lie.
We thank Justice Breyer for his nearly 30 years of service on the United States Supreme Court. Over the course of his career, Justice Breyer authored opinions in decisions that upheld women's reproductive rights and criticized the continued use of the death penalty. We are also thankful for his judgement in his decision to step down at a time when President Biden can preserve the current balance of the court, rather than risking a vacancy under a Republican majority, which no doubt would have replaced him with someone at least as ideologically unhinged as Amy Coney Barrett or Brett Kavanaugh.
While Republicans across the country are engaging in some of the most brazen attacks on our democracy and our right to vote, two Democrats – Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin – joined Mitch McConnell in blocking what would have been the most consequential suite of democracy reforms since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As a result of Sinema and Manchin’s betrayal, the likelihood of constitutional crises, democratic breakdowns, and rightwing political violence are higher today than it was yesterday. That is their legacy now.
