The Supreme Court was supposed to be fair and independent. Yet, we face a MAGA-leaning Court that continues to weaponize their rulings to strip away our rights, including reproductive freedom and the right to vote.

The American people do not appoint Supreme Court Justices. Yet, the American people are ruled by the decisions these majority GOP-appointed officials make on a daily basis – and to great extremes. There must be legitimacy and independence for a body with so much power.

Currently, sitting justices serve for life. The United States is the only major constitutional democracy in the world that doesn’t have term limits for our top justices. 49 of 50 American states impose term limits, elections, or mandatory retirement ages on high court judges–but not our highest court in the land.

Add your name today, John: Term limits for the Supreme Court now! >>>

Our current system has turned judicial appointments into political weapons, and our Court has turned into a partisan power grab. Now, a majority of Americans have no trust in the Court.

We can fix this with much needed reforms, starting with term limits. The Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act of 2023 has been introduced in Congress. The TERM Act would introduce fixed 18-year terms for current and future Supreme Court justices and establish regular nominations of justices in the first and third years of each presidential term–a necessary, fair, and accountable reform to the judicial system.

Term limits can restore Constitutional checks and balances to the Supreme Court, ensuring that it remains a body of justice. As public trust in the Court continues to erode and extremists on the Court continue to strip our basic rights, we must demand Congress act.

In the wake of Donald Trump's presidency, we've seen hard-right judges stacked on the Supreme Court, federal courts, and state courts across the country, delivering devastating rulings that have weakened voting rights, gun reforms, climate protections, and completely overturned abortion rights.

We must fight back and put more Democrats on the courts.

The Senate is the only body which can confirm federal judges and as such, Democratic control of the Senate is crucial to shaping judicial appointments. We must ensure the Senate stays in Democratic hands in 2024.

And in the states, we must pour resources into often highly contested judicial races that get little attention, but that have a wide influence on the daily lives of Americans.

Progress Courts PAC is working every day to hold the Senate and help elect progressive judges across the country, and we need your help.
