Washington D.C. – Following reports that President Biden will announce proposals for major reforms of the Supreme Court, including an enforceable code of ethics and term limits, People For the American Way President Svante Myrick released the following statement:
“It’s painfully obvious that this scandal-ridden, right-wing-dominated, partisan Supreme Court can’t police itself and is in dire need of reform on multiple levels. We’re thrilled that President Biden plans to step up and propose changes to fix the problem, including an enforceable code of ethics and term limits. People For the American Way has been calling for reform for years and we’re excited to see what the president’s proposals will be. One thing’s for certain: the Court’s downward spiral has to stop before it does more damage not just to our confidence in it, but to all our rights and freedoms.”
