NEW: Progressive judicial advocacy group Demand Justice launches $1.5 million effort aimed at pressuring Democrats to support legislation adding seats to the Supreme Court huffpost.com/entry/demand-j…
Demand Justice's plans include hiring an in-house team of 6 people, working with Bernie Sanders’ campaign strategist Becky Bond + organizing an in-person lobby day on Capitol Hill in October ― timed with the anniversary of Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
The group has already recruited 400+ volunteers to meet with nearly three dozen Democratic lawmakers’ offices to urge their support for The Justice Act, a bill that would expand the Supreme Court from 9 seats to 13.
Does the Justice Act have the votes to pass? No.
.@brianefallon says DJ is in this for the long haul.
“We know that even after the court’s direct attack on Roe v. Wade, Dem party leaders are not going to rush to embrace court expansion on their own. They need to be pressured.”
