Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, and other progressives are pushing a common, poll-tested refrain: the Supreme Court faces a 'legitimacy crisis'

• The Supreme Court is facing a "legitimacy crisis" that is catching on.

• Some people are condemning decisions they say are not in the best interests of the country.

• According to a recent survey, half of the voters on the Supreme Court feel good about it.

The Supreme Court is facing a "legitimacy crisis" as justices' decisions upend abortion rights according to a group of progressive leaders.

The federal government's ability to fight back was destroyed by the Supreme Court's decision on Thursday. The Supreme Court is facing a legitimacy crisis and we cannot allow them to have the last word.

Two justices are credibly accused of sexual assault after the Court overturned the landmark abortion-rights case.

She slammed Thomas's wife for participating in former President Donald Trump's "Stop the Steal" rally and for Thomas siding with Trump in his bid to keep some presidential documents from the House committee. "This is a crisis of legitimacy and President Biden needs to address it," she said.

Progressives want to expand the Court along with ethics and anti- corruption reforms. Five justices were nominated by Republican presidents who lost the popular vote and the Court is unaccountable. The Senate Republicans denied a hearing for Garland, who is now the US Attorney General.

The Senate Democrats pushing the illegitimacy message include Warren and others. Hakeem Jeffries and Jamie Raskin are two of the House members.

The legitimacy of the court should be taken up by the RNC.

The message is being encouraged by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and other left-leaning groups. According to a survey conducted in June by Hart Research for the progressive group Demand Justice in collaboration with PCCC, the increasing "legitimacy crisis" message describes the feelings of more than half of voters in all states.

According to a June Gallup poll, only 25% of Americans have confidence in the Supreme Court, down from 36% in 2011.

"We believe that any critique of individual Court decisions should also call out this politicized Court itself, and we wanted to ask you to amplify this message in the days ahead," PCCC co- founder Adam Green wrote in a June 29 message to lawmakers.

PCCC, March For Our Lives, UltraViolet, Demand Justice, and the American Constitution Society signed the email.
