This dismissal by a partisan Supreme Court is yet another reason why Congress must pass the Protecting Our Democracy Act, which would ensure that the emoluments clause of the Constitution is enforced and that Congress has standing to move quickly in the courts to enforce it.

In the first three days after flipping the Senate, Democratic senators have introduced sweeping anti-corruption legislation that would build our democracy back better and root out the corruption that still stains Washington after four years of Donald Trump in office. We applaud Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic caucus for prioritizing this critical legislation at the start of the new Congress.

Under the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration and with a Democratic Congress, we have a tremendous opportunity to undo some of the damage done by the Roberts Court by passing the For The People Act (H.R. 1, S. 1).
