Expanding SCOTUS Will Shrink Freedom

Apr 19, 2021

Ten times since November, the U.S. Supreme Court has sided with churches against unconstitutional COVID restrictions. This, in part, is why Joe Biden wants to increase the number of seats on the court and then fill them with judges who will destroy the Constitution, along with our freedom.

If Biden succeeds, we will lose the Supreme Court for the rest of our lives. A supermajority Biden court will turn America into an oligarchy—government by the few. Read why this is such a serious threat to freedom. — Mat

Joe Biden and his band of socialist sympathizers aren't happy with the way the Supreme Court has handled our church freedom cases.

Ten times since November, the Supreme Court has found in favor of religious freedom, with most of the decisions being 5-4, except for one 6-3 ruling in our California case of Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry.

But if Biden gets his way, each of those church freedom cases, as well as a host of other decisions, will be overturned. A Biden supermajority court will be the deadliest judicial disaster in history. For instance, we will never overturn the abortion decisions.

Liberty Counsel played a key role in these church freedom wins. We defended the first pastor in the world to be arrested for opening his church at the beginning of COVID restrictions in March 2020. This case freed Florida churches.

We continued with state and federal lawsuits in multiple states, freeing the churches and places of worship in FL, CA, CO, IL and KY. Our legal work continues, in multiple states, and our Maine case defending Calvary Chapel of Bangor is now at the Supreme Court.

In our California case alone, the Supreme Court issued multiple rulings, citing our Harvest Rock Church case in its most recent order freeing home worship and Bible studies, which was illegal until 10 days ago.

But Biden isn't happy with the Supreme Court's recent rulings. Instead of obeying the Constitution and allowing the judiciary to function as an independent third branch of government, Joe Biden is trying to create his own court—a supermajority of lawless judges.

President Franklin Roosevelt tried this tactic in 1937. The court kept striking down his "progressive" Big Government policies. Knowing he could not get his agenda past the court, FDR threatened to add additional seats. Called "court packing," the newly created seats would be filled with likeminded expansionists who would rubber-stamp his unconstitutional agenda.

FDR failed to implement his plan. But with Democrats in charge of the House and Senate right now, Joe Biden wants to accomplish what FDR only attempted.

If we allow Biden to stack the Supreme Court, we might as well burn the Constitution because not one shred of freedom will remain.

If Biden's cabinet picks are any indication, the new SCOTUS seats would be filled with extreme leftist law professors and judicial activists.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki, as well as Paige Herwig (Biden's point person for judicial nominations), came to the White House from the uber-progressive "Demand Justice" organization.

And it would appear Psaki and Herwig have had a lot of influence on Biden, as the top initiatives on the Demand Justice website just happen to be in the new court-packing bill proposed by House Democrats.

Not only does Biden want to STACK the court with new appointments, but he also wants to DESTROY the existing court by forcing sitting justices off the bench.

Justice Clarence Thomas has long been an outspoken defender of religious liberty, life and the Constitution. Thomas is Biden's No. 1 target.

As the longest-serving Supreme Court Justice, Christian and constitutional originalist, Clarence Thomas would be the first justice to be forced into retirement under Biden's "term limit" plan.
Biden can't get the unconstitutional rulings he wants, so he wants to control the court. Last week, Biden appointed 36 radicals to a commission to study packing the court. Days later, House Democrats introduced legislation that would skip Biden's commission and simply ram four more justices onto the court. Although Speaker Pelosi said she will not bring up Nadler's bill NOW, she also said she is not opposed to court packing.

If the Democrat plan succeeds, the Supreme Court will be stacked with nine lawless socialists to a minority of constitutionalists ... and our Constitution will be destroyed—for the rest of our lives.

All our gains will be lost. The First and Second Amendments will be shredded. Abortion, restricted religious freedom, curtailed speech, regulated assembly, LGBTQ norms, socialism, government control and more will reign. Those churches we have fought so hard to free will once again be imprisoned.

We MUST STOP this outrageous scheme of court packing. Republicans and key Democrats must hear from you. Tell them to LEAVE THE SUPREME COURT ALONE!! Select here or the button below.
