Pass the TERM Act for SCOTUS term limits!

The majority of Americans have lost faith in the Supreme Court’s ability to act as a neutral arbiter of the law. The Supreme Court continues to hand down decisions that are increasingly divorced from the values and viewpoints of the American people. It’s time for Congress to restore public trust in the Court by creating term limits for current and future Supreme Court justices with the TERM Act. The TERM Act (H.R. 5566) would create 18-year term limits for current and future justices and give each President two Supreme Court appointments during the first and third years of each term they are in office. No other major democracy in the world gives lifetime appointments to judges, and 49 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. As a constituent, I am urging you to become a cosponsor of the TERM Act (H.R. 5566) and build support among your colleagues in Congress. It’s time to restore trust in the highest court in our land.
