Pamela, did you know that ALEC and far-right groups are pushing to cement a nine-member Supreme Court into the U.S. Constitution? And more importantly, do you know what you and I can do about it?
Join us this Friday, September 27th at the Center for Media and Democracy's webinar Setting the Stacked Court in Stone? – where panelists will discuss who's behind this effort, what it would mean for the country if they succeed, and proposals to reform a rogue Supreme Court.

Heavy-handed partisan maneuvering and millions of dollars of special interest money have given us a Court with a radical majority that is taking away our constitutional rights and overturning centuries of precedent.
And now, groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council and Convention of States – backed by Koch, big oil, and other billionaires – want to amend the Constitution to specify a nine-member Court and lock in their advantage permanently.
But Pamela – with your help, we can push back.
This exciting webinar will dive into the constitutional convention effort, how the current radical Court majority is remaking U.S. law and the balance of power, the implications of cementing a stacked Court into the Constitution, and the growing support for proposals to fix the Court through term limits or expansion.
Bring your questions – and a friend – for what promises to be an exciting discussion! RSVP now >>
I hope to see you there!
Viki Harrison, Director of Constitutional Convention & Protect Dissent Programs
and the team at Common Cause
