Supreme Court Accountability - News Briefs
🎓 Tennessee religious charter school fight could tee up next Supreme Court showdown
The Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that could determine whether states may allow publicly funded charter schools to be operated by religious organizations. At issue is a Tennessee Christian charter school that would receive public funding while offering religious instruction. Supporters argue that excluding religious schools violates constitutional protections, while opponents warn it would blur the separation of church and state. The ruling could have sweeping implications for public education and taxpayer funding nationwide. ““I think it becomes a really slippery and dangerous slope for our public schools in our schooling system … this country was built on the idea of religious liberty, religious freedom, and that means that the government doesn’t take a position on religion, and publicly funding religious schools is a reversal of that,” said Theoharis.” — The Hill
⚖️ The Supreme Court v. My Mother
In the Nation, Leo Treitler shares his families story and how it ended up at the Supreme Court in 1952. He says “After my mother escaped the Holocaust, she broke the law to save her family. Her immigration story is more pertinent today than ever before.” — The Nation
🏛️ Congress is attempting a federal takeover of DC’s justice system
Ira Rheingold argues that the independence of the District of Columbia’s attorney general is essential to upholding the rule of law and how political interference could undermine investigations and weaken public trust. “I am deeply concerned about two proposals currently being considered by Congress related to the office of the attorney general and the Judicial Nomination Commission. One would do away with the democratic election of the D.C. attorney general and transfer appointment power to the White House. The other would eliminate the current Judicial Nomination Commission and authorize the president to directly appoint judges to DC’s courts. If passed, these bills would centralize federal control over local justice, dilute accountability and leave D.C. residents with less recourse when powerful actors break the rules.” It is a warning that erosion of independence of the attorney general would set a dangerous precedent nationally. — The Hill

⚖️ Justice belongs to the people—not to partisan judges.
America’s promise of equal justice relies on a Supreme Court that is fair and independent. Yet today that promise is breaking. A conservative majority puts ideology ahead of the Constitution, threatening reproductive rights, climate protections, and the integrity of our elections. Ethics scandals and hidden conflicts of interest deepen the crisis, eroding public trust at the very moment our freedoms hang in the balance.
But the story isn’t finished. Across the nation, people are rising to demand real reform:
Expand the Court to restore balance
Set Term Limits to end lifetime partisanship
Adopt a binding Code of Ethics to guarantee accountability
Here’s how you can act: Call your members of Congress, sign and share petitions, join groups and coalitions, write letters and op-eds, and show up for organized actions. Every ruling shapes our future. Together, we can build a Supreme Court that serves all of us—and protect the democracy we refuse to lose.
