Sign the petition: We must bring fairness and trust to the Supreme Court

Friend, [sign the petition: We must bring fairness and trust to the Supreme Court.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( The Supreme Court is supposed to be fair and independent. Yet, we grapple with a conservative-leaning Court that continues to [weaponize partisanship]( and strip away our rights. The American people do not elect Supreme Court justices. Yet, the American people are ruled by the decisions these appointed officials make on a daily basis. There must be legitimacy, trust, and independence for a body with so much power. Currently, sitting justices serve for life. The United States is the only major constitutional democracy in the world that doesn’t have term limits for our top justices. 49 of 50 American states impose term limits, elections, or mandatory retirement ages on high court judges–but not our highest court in the land. Meanwhile, justices sitting in lifetime appointments continue to [ethically abuse]( their positions. Enough is enough. [Sign the petition: Term limits for the Supreme Court now!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Our current system has turned judicial appointments into [political weapons](, and our Court has turned into a partisan power grab. Now, a majority of Americans have [no trust]( in the Court. We can fix this with much needed reforms to the Court, starting with term limits. The Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act of 2023 has been introduced in Congress. The TERM Act would introduce fixed 18-year terms for current and future Supreme Court justices and establish regular nominations of justices in the first and third years of each presidential term–a necessary, fair, and accountable reform to the judicial system. Term limits can restore constitutional checks and balances to the Supreme Court, ensuring that it remains a body of justice. As public trust in the Court continues to erode and extremists on the Court continue to strip our basic rights, we must demand Congress act.
