The Supreme Court is meant to be a nonpartisan, independent judicial body, but recent rulings have called into question its impartiality and objectivity. Public trust in the court has plummeted amid concerns over ideological bias. To address this crisis of legitimacy, structural reforms are urgently needed. I urge you to support measures to restore ideological balance to the court, such as implementing term limits for justices or expanding the number of seats. The confirmation of additional justices who reflect our nation's diversity in perspectives would help insulate the court from the undue influence of any single president or party's agenda. Failure to act risks further erosion of this revered institution's credibility and the integrity of the judicial branch itself.
