First Liberty announced the launch of a television and digital ad blitz as part of a $2 million campaign to educate Americans on the dangers of current court “reform” proposals. The campaign includes a challenge for all candidates for office to make clear where they stand on court-packing and other proposed changes to the Supreme Court and the judiciary.

Featured ads will run on Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Newsmax, BlazeTV, Matt Walsh and other popular digital platforms. Ads can be viewed at SupremeCoup.com/Commercials.

Some of America’s most radical groups and politicians are engaged in a full-scale effort to undermine the Court’s credibility and integrity. They’re more emboldened than ever and are pouring in millions of dollars trying to convince the public that these so-called “reforms” would “fix” the Supreme Court. They’ve made it clear that “everything is on the table,” and they’re willing to destroy the Supreme Court rather than have it remain outside their control.

Many want to pack the Supreme Court by adding more justices. Others are pushing for equally extreme proposals, such as ending life tenure, giving Congress power to oversee the Court’s ethics and even stripping the Court of its constitutional power to hear certain cases.

“So-called ‘court reform’ is an attempted coup by radical elites to overthrow our judicial system,” Kelly Shackelford, President, CEO, & Chief Counsel to First Liberty said. “These dangerous schemes are nothing more than a brazen power-play by political extremists that threatens the independence of the judiciary and our civil rights. The last thing our country needs right now is a coup on the Supreme Court.”

Americans who care about the rule of law, judicial independence and individual freedom are standing up against this attempted coup.

In August, First Liberty announced the results of a nationwide poll from Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy revealing 87% of Americans believe that an independent judiciary is crucial to our civil liberties. 57% also believe that Congress forcing ethics reform on the Supreme Court threatens that independence.

Over 600,000 Americans have already signed the Declaration of Judicial Independence saying: NO to court packing, NO to suspect judicial reforms, NO to the Supreme Court Coup.

You can help save the priceless heritage of the Supreme Court. How? By sharing the truth.

More Americans need to know why radical court “reform” would be disastrous. This scheme will destroy judicial independence and our constitutional order. Whether it’s court-packing or ending lifetime tenure (court purging) or giving Congress “oversight” of the Court’s internal business, all of these would be the gateway to tyranny in our country.

If this Supreme Court Coup succeeds, it won’t be long before we lose our religious liberty and many of our most cherished freedoms.

The most impactful action you can take right now is sharing this with anyone who may not know what’s happening. Forward this information to your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers!

If we lose the Supreme Court, we lose our country

First Liberty Institute is leading the charge to protect America’s judiciary and our constitutional freedoms. Fighting for religious freedom, or any constitutional freedom, means nothing if our system of justice is gone.
