ICYMI: Democrats Are Fighting For Supreme Court Transparency

Hi friend,

In case you missed it, Democrats are pushing for greater transparency and accountability at the Supreme Court — and it’s an important fight for our democracy.

Representative Jamie Raskin has introduced legislation aimed at bringing more openness to the Court’s increasingly powerful “shadow docket,” where major emergency rulings are often issued without full explanations or public scrutiny. The proposed reforms would require greater transparency around emergency decisions and strengthen oversight when rulings affect millions of Americans.

This matters because these secretive rulings increasingly shape issues like voting rights, immigration, healthcare, education, and executive power — often without the accountability the public deserves. In a democracy, trust in institutions depends on openness and fairness, not secrecy.

👉 Add your name to applaud the leaders fighting for accountability, transparency, and fairness at the Supreme Court.

In solidarity,
