Washington, DC–Following the announcement of President Biden’s Supreme Court reform proposal, which includes support for term limits and a binding code of ethics, along with a constitutional amendment to counter the Court’s dangerous presidential immunity ruling, Demand Justice Managing Director Maggie Jo Buchanan released the following statement: 

“The Biden-Harris administration’s support for reforms to improve the rule of law is very welcome news. 

The Supreme Court’s actions—from unethical, politicized behavior to rulings that undermine basic freedoms and threaten the security of our very democracy— run the risk of destroying the legitimacy of our courts in the eyes of the American people. Already, the overwhelming majority of Americans across the political spectrum think federal judges are too powerful. Action is critical. We look forward to working to enact these, and all needed reforms, as quickly as possible in order to ensure that our courts work to protect the rights and well-being of every person in this country.”
