'The way to restore the rightful role of the Supreme Court is to add four new justices to nullify the seats on the court stolen by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.'

The U.S. Supreme Court has been packed with right-wingers in contradiction of constitutional norms, majority opinion and any regard for honest and fair play. It has lost all pretensions of nonpartisanship or respect for judicial independence. Contrary to Chief Justice John Roberts' description of justices as"neutral umpires calling balls and strikes" the court majority are now hard-core right-wing politicians wearing bright red shirts under their black robes.

The way to restore the rightful role of the Supreme Court is to add four new justices to nullify the seats on the court stolen by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. Notably, the number of Supreme Court justices is not specified in the Constitution and has been changed numerous times during our nation's history.

The 6-3 conservative majority on the court is the successful culmination of a decades-long aggressive campaign by the Federalist Society, financed by the Kochs and other right-wingers, to seize control of the judicial branch in order to impose the will of the minority on the majority. Five of the six right-wingers were appointed by presidents whom a majority of Americans voted against and were confirmed by senators who represented a minority of the American population.
