Statements from Dems like this one make it harder to press for Supreme Court reform. This ruling was a near-disaster and shows how unhinged SCOTUS has become—now just one vote away from overturning the 14th Amendment. But a sitting senator says they "applaud" the ruling.

And here's a similar one from the DNC. SCOTUS didn't "emphatically reject" the anti-birthright arguments. It barely did, by the skin of its teeth.

I read ~20 press releases from Dems & progressive groups that hit my inbox on the birthright ruling. They all sound exactly like those shared above. "Applauding," SCOTUS "reaffirms," "victory for rule of law," etc. Not one warns how close this was to a loss, or makes the case for SCOTUS reform.

Here's a better one, but for those who care about democracy, this case needs to be used as a jumping-off point to make the argument for SCOTUS reform.

I'm sharing this one, too, because it's not just moderate Dems missing the moment here. Folks are taking a victory lap or breathing a sigh of relief when it's a five-alarm fire.

Campbell is the first I've seen in Mass that's a bit on the better side because it acknowledges the margin and the risks. bsky.app/profile/msza...
