Hi,

Imagine what the Supreme Court would be like without extreme right-wing
corrupt justices like Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Congress can make
it a reality if they pass SCOTUS term limits.

The TERM Act would limit justices to eighteen-year terms on SCOTUS.^1
Thomas has served well over eighteen years, and Alito is right at the
mark. This legislation doesn’t just come with term limits, it allows
presidents to appoint justices every two years, so the Court better
reflects public opinion. It would be harder for the right-wing to take
over the Court for decades, threaten democracy, further threaten abortion
rights, and give massive powers to corporations.^2

Congress has a responsibility to ensure the Court is responsive to the
people, not right-wing mega-donors and corporate executives.

SCOTUS rulings led by conservative justices over the last few decades
threaten our rights, freedoms, and safety. The recent rulings in the Trump
immunity case and Chevron bring that reality into sharper focus.

If term limits were in place, Thomas and Alito likely would have been OFF
the Court before they helped the right-wing majority decide these recent
cases that threaten democracy and boost corporate power.

And while the Supreme Court is supposed to be fair and independent,
corruption scandals involving Thomas, Alito, Roberts, and the other
conservatives have rocked SCOTUS. Public confidence in the Court is at an
all time low. The TERM Act is a critical reform to overhaul SCOTUS!
