Supreme Court decisions impact every American and every aspect of our lives. And yet, the majority of Americans have lost faith in the Court’s ability to act as a neutral arbiter of the law. Each session, the Court hands down decisions that are increasingly divorced from the values and viewpoints of the American people, and sometimes in direct conflict with the Constitution. It’s time for Congress to restore public trust in the Court by creating term limits for the Supreme Court. A supermajority of Americans—7 out of 10—support passing term limits for our highest court. No other major democracy in the world gives lifetime appointments to judges, and 49 of our states already have term limits, mandatory retirement ages, or elections for members of their highest courts. It’s time the federal government follows their lead. It’s time to restore trust in the highest court in our land.
