John, Principle and precedent, not personnel, should be determining factors in the outcome of any case. Yet too often, this Supreme Court has used its illegitimately constructed majority to overturn rulings that the American people have used to order their lives or to deconstruct our system of justice. For the good of the nation this must change. President Biden’s new proposal to reform the Supreme Court marks a significant step toward ensuring the Court operates as it is intended to — insulated from partisan influence and held to enforceable ethics standards — and, in the Presidential immunity case, reversing one of the most democracy threatening and truly ill conceived decisions in our nation’s history. Eighteen-year term limits for justices, and regularized presidential appointments, are a commonsense — and popularly supported — way forward to restore Americans’ faith in the Supreme Court. These proposals will ensure justices bend less to partisan winds and special interests and move toward a fair evaluation of the law. Eric H. Holder, Jr.,
