Liberal lawmakers have embarked on a multi-state bus tour to push for a shake-up at the nation’s highest court.
“I’ve worked in law all my life and the last thing I would want to do is mess with the United States Supreme Court,” U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said. “But the United States Supreme Court is messing with our democracy. They undercut the basic premise of law when they are captured by extremists who are more interested in advancing their own personal political views than following the rule of law, than following precedent.”
Warren, alongside U.S. Sen. Ed Markey and U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, was in Boston’s Copley Square Monday morning to advocate for the addition of more supreme court justices and to take up the call for judicial ethics rules.
The lawmakers were joined by former Commissioner Caroline Fredrickson of President Biden’s Commission on the Supreme Court, gun safety advocate David Hogg, GLAD executive director Janson Wu, and reproductive rights advocate and former Planned Parenthood official Alencia Johnson.
Their push for change, the group said Monday, comes following summer decisions by the court to overturn Roe v. Wade and loosen gun registration rules nationally. The tour also comes on the heels of revelations by ProPublica regarding Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his relationship with Republican mega donor Harlan Crow.
“Our message is simple, but its consequences are woven into the fabric of every right of every person of every community across this nation: our must fundamentally held freedoms are under siege,” Markey said. “The court is broken.”
Markey has proposed legislation which would expand the number of supreme court justices, currently set by U.S. Code at nine, to a total of 13 including the chief justice. According to Warren that piece of legislation represents an easy fix to a huge problem.
“It’s happened seven times in the past, it’s something we’re familiar with in law,” she said. “I think now is a moment when enough people around the country have said ‘this supreme court is out of control.’ That’s what this bus tour is about.”
Organizers did not say Monday where the following stops on the bus tour will land or who will make the journey, only saying that it will be a national tour.

They should call the bus “the Karl Marx Express”….
IF WE can’t win in the rules set, CHANGE the rules!!
She has been around law for so long that she’s ignorant enough to believe that the United States of America is a democracy. When will she learn that we are a Republic ??
Because these commucrats WANT it to be purely MAJORITY RULE (AND they are the majority).
Make that headline read “Wornout, Malarkey, and Don’t Press Me” Launch Supreme Court Bus tour for the largest expansive blow up of a government entity since Elon Musk’s blown up, launched SpaceX Missile last week. When devious Democrats cannot win the argument by the rules, Just change the rules and create a new enlarged corrupt communist cadre of Rulers.
“I’ve worked in law all my life and the last thing I would want to do is mess with the United States Supreme Court,” U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said. Spoken like a true subverter of her record who only uses the law to twist intended results to her favor, but when that no longer works and people wise up to her true intentions like a true social anarchist she is, Just blows it up! The Unites States Supreme Court IS messing with her version of Democracy whose concepts of Constitutional law are so corrupted that the Democrat party she represents, now just uses her true party “Democrat name”, now dominated by socialist and rabid entitlement WOKE socialism, as a narcotic to lull THE PEOPLE into thinking its inherent bad intentions are good, honorable and Democrat in words, but in their actions are hard core street fighting smash and grab all the power you can, while you can, before being thrown out of office by the informed, and true American spirits of Democracy so tired of being socially deformed.
“The court is broken.”
The U.S. supreme court is NOT broken!
The lies, cons, deceptions, hypocrisy and treachery of the treasonous, woke, socialist Democrat Party cult and their disciples know no bounds.
When we elect Godless, dishonest, immoral, hateful self-righteous, self-serving political representatives like the corrupt, demented, puppet Joe Biden, Tinkerbell PinocchiObama, the hateful Nancy Pelosi, racist Maxine Waters, Liars Adam Schiff & Chuck Schumer, Camel toe Kamala Harris, Bimbo Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Muslim Ilhan Omar, squaw Elizabeth Warren and racist Ayanna Pressley who intentionally pit one group against another to divide the country and cultivate hate and distrust, you got to ask yourself; what are the motives of these type people? To lead the country into prosperity OR to gain control, stay in power any way possible and to dominate the citizens? No matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
Like always, the left claims ANYTHIHNG That is NOT THEIR WAY “must be broken and needs fixing”
If everything doesn’t go your way, you have to try and manipulate it so it does, right?
the mob rules in amerika!
It’s about time to deal with all the current problems instead of continuing to create new ones
The voice of reason as seen by someone unbiased said warren to the mirror.
They should call this the Three Stooges Reunion Tour. Markey, Fauxahontas and racist Pressley want to tear this country apart using the Rule or Ruin mode of attack. Pressley wants all regular people to be helpless in the face of Antifa mobs but spends how much for personal protection? She should lead by example and go around without bodyguards to show us peasants how it’s done. Her butt is no more special then any of ours.
I think we’d better get a bus chartered and talk seriously about TERM LIMITS on these overpaid, over-indulged politicians, regardless of party affiliation.
