Re: the Supreme Court

“We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power and restore the public’s faith in our judicial system.” [Adam Schiff for Senate]( Last week, President Biden published an op-ed in the Washington Post calling for bold reforms to the Supreme Court. [The Washington Post: Opinion: Joe Biden: My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power and restore the public's faith in our judicial system.]( Folks, I’m doing everything possible to work with the Biden-Harris Administration and my colleagues in Congress to make these reforms a reality — because it’s high time to restore the broken trust in the courts. From term limits to a binding code of ethics for justices, many of the reforms President Biden called for in his op-ed are the reforms I’ve demanded for years. Whether we muscle them through in the next five months or hit the ground running with a Democratic Senate and Madam President Kamala Harris next January, I’m ready to do whatever it takes. [This is our best chance at meaningfully reforming the Supreme Court and taking an important step in restoring trust in the courts. If you support these necessary reforms, add your name alongside mine in supporting these changes to the Supreme Court >>]( [REFORM SCOTUS]( I’m a lead sponsor of the Judicial Integrity Act, which would hold federal judges and justices accountable for violations of their ethical duties. I also believe in expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court. After Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell stacked the court with conservative justices who took away the right to an abortion and have issued partisan rulings on guns, the environment, and even Donald Trump’s legal immunity as president, it’s more important than ever before that we add more justices and rebalance the courts. Justice Samuel Alito is flying far-right flags in his front yard and saying compromise on the bench is near impossible. Justice Clarence Thomas was late in disclosing millions of dollars in gifts that a billionaire lavished upon him when he had interests before the Supreme Court, in an instance of nearly cartoonish levels of conflict of interest. It’s clear that there is a crisis in the courts that must be addressed. In Congress, I have already sponsored legislation to expand the Supreme Court. In the Senate, I’ll be fighting tooth and nail to make sure it gets passed. And whether it is with President Biden or President Harris, I’ll work alongside them to get this legislation across the finish line. [If you agree that we need to fundamentally reform the Supreme Court to return the bench to the fair, just, and impartial judicial body it is meant to be, add your name to voice your support for these reforms.]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( Together, we can rebalance the Supreme Court, insist upon an ethical code of conduct, and impose reasonable term limits, so that our children and grandchildren can grow up in a world that has greater rights and freedoms — not fewer. — Adam [Adam Schiff for Senate Banner; text Schiff to 724433]( [DONATE]( 135 E.
