We need term limits for Supreme Court justices, John. And we need them now.
Hank is not letting up.
After writing the bill to expand the Supreme Court, after writing the bill to enact a mandatory code of ethics for justices, after introducing EIGHT pieces of legislation to reform and modernize the federal judiciary – he’s now introduced a bill to create and enforce term limits for Supreme Court justices.

The Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act will limit the tenure of justices to 18-year terms.
And John – this bill solves two problems at once.
FIRST, it ensures that unelected jurists do not have life tenure on our nation’s highest court. This keeps fresh ideas on the bench. Conservative or liberal or in between – it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the court will be keeping up with the American people.
SECOND, it keeps Mitch McConnell from playing gamesmanship with court appointments and people’s lives. Each presidential term will see two nominations. That means every president gets two Supreme Court nominations – four if they’re reelected to a second term. The court will be more directly accountable to the people it serves, and nominees will get an up or down vote in the Senate, not made to wait indefinitely like McConnell did to Merrick Garland.

And if you need another reason to get behind this idea, term limits will severely hamper the dark-money special interests who are currently spending big bucks entrenching the most ideologically ultraconservative activists they can find on the high court for decades and decades.
Like we said, Hank’s not letting up. He’s rallying support for his reforms in Congress and building the momentum we need to fix the Supreme Court and keep it from continuing to take us backwards.
