Scott MacFarlane reports that momentum is growing in Congress for Supreme Court term limits. Several bipartisan proposals would impose 18- or 20-year limits on Supreme Court justices. Rep. Johnny Olszewski says the issue goes beyond any single ruling and reflects a broader crisis of confidence in the Court. “Only 22% of Americans have confidence in the Supreme Court, and 78% want to see term limits implemented,” Olszewski said. The push comes amid growing concerns over ethics issues, controversial rulings, and the Court’s increasingly partisan image.

Congressmember Ro Khanna says “most Americans have seen that the Supreme Court is just wildly out of touch with the facts of modern life.” He has reintroduced a bill that would limit Supreme Court justices to 18-year terms and allow each president two appointments to the court.

The Supreme Court is facing a corruption crisis. We need to expand the Supreme Court, enact term limits on Supreme Court Justices, enforce a binding code of ethics, and expedite impeachment proceedings. Thomas and Alito need to be impeached and removed from the bench.

The Supreme Court has engaged in an ugly recidivism that has marked the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Reconstruction. 18 year terms limits on Justices now. Expand the court from 9 to 13 Justices now.

The American people deserve a government that actually works. It's time to fix the country with a constitutional amendment that would ban partisan redistricting, reverse Citizens United, and create term limits – including for the Supreme Court.

Right now, nine Supreme Court justices can shape your rights for decades without ever answering to the American people. That’s not balance. That’s not accountability, and that’s simply too much power for too long. That’s why I’m cosponsoring legislation to establish 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, with regular appointments every two years. We need to put an end to strategic retirements, court-packing games, and a system that changes the direction of the country on a single vacancy or lifetime appointment. Term limits don’t weaken the Court. They modernize it by restoring balance, strengthening accountability, and rebuilding public trust. This is how we restore confidence in the Court and strengthen our democracy for the long term.

Today, I made a commitment to Maryland that, as Senator, I will only vote for nominees who can earn support from both sides of the aisle. If there's one place that we should not be playing politics, it's appointments to the Supreme Court and the cabinet. Partisan gamesmanship undermines our most sacred institutions—in the Senate, I won’t be playing along.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28. If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table. Term limits, at a minimum, and potentially expanding the Court are things that should be seriously considered. We cannot leave in place, without at least a discussion—and I think without substantive reforms being implemented—the Supreme Court as it is presently constituted.

🚨JUST NOW: Hakeem Jeffries says the Supreme Court is CORRUPT and some Justices have no "Ethical Code" JEFFRIES: "Clean up the corruption that exists in Washington, D.C., in Congress, at the Supreme Court." CNN: "I just want to be precise, you say the Supreme Court has been corrupt. Is that what you're saying?" JEFFRIES: "Yeah. What I'm saying is that the outrageous behavior by individual justices like Clarence Thomas and Justice Alito, and the failure to have an ethical code of conduct, is corrupt."

Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump stacked the Supreme Court. We must unstack it. That means: — Expanding the number of Justices — Imposing reasonable term limits — Instituting a code of ethics

Raskin: In some cases, they will want to subdue and control the federal regulatory agencies. In other cases, they might want to just bankrupt them and, you know, shut them down. We’ve seen both of those strategies used. And now the Supreme Court has given an enthusiastic thumbs-up. The Supreme Court has literally delegitimized decades and decades of federal government organization, action, and policy.
