UPDATE: Good news - our advocacy is working. This bill wasn't called for a vote yesterday. We'll continue to closely monitor the situation and continue the fight to #stopHB38 and #protectourcourts.
Today, @Commish_Schmidt sent a letter on behalf of C70 to every member of the PA House of Reps urging them to #StopHB38

Helping save democracy in Pennsylvania is a great thing to do over morning coffee
Did you contact your state representatives yet? #StopHB38 #SaveOurCourts https://t.co/7QlGa8BByt
They don't like who people vote to represent them, so they try to gerrymander legislative districts.
They don't like court rulings, so they try to gerrymander the judiciary.
🗣️HELP SAVE OUR COURTS!

The Pennsylvanian Republican Party is declaring war on democracy today.
Somebody tell me they hear me yelling.

Extreme lawmakers want to gerrymander the courts. @kadidakenner of @PBPC explains why this is a bad idea on the latest episode of Speaking Freely, available here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Looks like over 60 letters to the editor in just 3 weeks saying #StopHB38- it would move PA in the wrong direction.
So far some muddled letters from @RussDiamond & 1 lone @GOP committee chair from Washington County saying #HB38 is a fine idea.

Judges are not supposed to be like assemblymen & senators. They are supposed to be insulated from the day-to-day shifts in popular opinion.
With #HB38 judicial elections would more closely parallel elections for legislators. What a bad idea! https://t.co/5xDkVKCzrg
I’m looking forward to this spirited conversation. #StopHB38
This Monday on the Power Hour, we will be discussing current attempts in the state legislature to fundamentally alter the way Pennsylvania picks their appellate judges w/ @MarieAlbiges @Khalif412 @KadidaKenner #PowerHourMondays
Well said @PhillyInquirer Editorial Board, "The constitutional amendment is not an effort to increase representation on the bench. It is a power grab by the legislative branch." #stopHB38 https://t.co/M5AbVtmpA0
Looking forward to a spirited conversation! #CourtsMatter
From all indications #HB38 is dead in the water & won’t be appearing on the May primary ballot. We’ll be watching for any hint of movement between now & the end of this legislative session. Thank you to all who helped #StopHB38 for your part in saying #BadBill #BadProcess.
Former judges provide insight from experience on dangers of judicial districts & need to #StopHB38
Wouldn't it make sense to invite this kind of testimony BEFORE legislators vote on a constitutional amendment?

Looks like lots of #RegularPeople speaking out against #HB38 - voices from north & south of 1-80, east, west, central PA. Rs, Ds, Independents.
Constitutional checks & balances are there to protect ALL our rights. Protect judicial independence. #StopHB38
Want to read SOME of the letters, editorials & story opposing HB 38? Check our @Flipboard magazine: https://t.co/OFmokK6mc6
“The underlying assumption [of this proposal] is that judicial rulings, decisions, and the conduct of the judiciary should reflect some kind of partisan or ideological majority... It’s antithetical to how judges should rule.” #StopHB38 https://t.co/4r6IC8Nhoa
“It would only serve to politicize the bench even more, and give the Legislature inordinate power over who sits on the appellate courts and who doesn’t.” #StopJudicialGerrymandering #StopHB38

Shouldn't committee chairs & legislative leaders invite experts to share experience & research BEFORE voting on a constitutional amendment?
Or is @RussDiamond the legal expert @PAHouseGOP trusts most?

No matter your primary issue, you will not be able to forge process if we don't stop this effort to gerrymander our courts! #StopHB38 https://t.co/Fz0VG7d2r4
Phonebank to protect our courts! Tomorrow 4-7PM & Sat. 1-4PM.
Ask your state reps to #StopHB38, a proposed amendment to the PA constitution that gives the state legislature too much power over the courts.
