Bill sponsor Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson say measure “step toward restoring balance to this radical, unrestrained majority on the court”
House Democrats have introduced a bill that would limit Supreme Court justices from remaining on the bench for over 18 years.
The Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization Act, if passed, would authorize the president to nominate Supreme Court justices every two years
The lawmakers backing the bill argue such a change will “restore legitimacy and independence to the nation’s highest court.”
An AP-NORC survey released earlier this week shows 67% of Americans would support term limits for justices.
The bill is sponsored by Rep. Hank Johnson, a Georgia Democrat, and was introduced Tuesday with the support of six other House Democrats.
The House is in need of cleansing and term limits, not SCOTUS.
First – pass a bill limiting Senators and Representatives!
Ok…. But only if it applies to ALL elected politicians, too..
none need to look any further than their own back yard. Limits to all politicians
if all justices were democrats would they have brought this up?
2 > 4 year term LIMITS for ALL incl SCOTUS ,CONGRESS !!!! ALL !!!!!
