Religious Liberty Law Firm Launches $2 Million Ad Blitz Warning Against Court-Reform Schemes
First Liberty Institute’s campaign includes television, digital ads labeling political left’s court-packing plans as an attempted coup
Washington, DC— First Liberty Institute today announced that it has launched a television and digital ad blitz as part of the religious liberty law firm’s $2 million campaign to educate on the dangers of current court reform proposals. The campaign includes a challenge for all candidates for office to make clear where they stand on court reform. Ads can be viewed at supremecoup.com.
“So-called ‘court reform’ is an attempted coup by radical elites to overthrow our judicial system,” Kelly Shackelford, President, CEO, & Chief Counsel to First Liberty said. “These dangerous schemes are nothing more than a brazen power-play by political extremists that threatens the independence of the judiciary and our civil rights. The last thing our country needs right now is a coup on the Supreme Court.”
The campaign includes ads that will air on Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Newsmax BlazeTV, Matt Walsh, and other popular digital platforms.
In August, First Liberty Institute announced the results of a nationwide poll from Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy revealing 87 percent of Americans believe that an independent judiciary is crucial to our civil liberties and 57 percent believe that Congress forcing ethics reform on the Supreme Court threatens that independence.
