United for Democracy (UFD), a coalition of more than 140 organizations – including the Equal Justice Society – representing tens of millions of Americans across civil rights, labor, reproductive freedom, and climate movements, applauds President Biden’s proposed reforms for the Supreme Court.
The president’s proposal, which includes term limits, an ethics code, and eliminating broad immunity for presidents is a critical first step in building an equitable Court and strengthening our democracy.
With President Biden’s call to action, there is an urgent need for Congress to act and a significant opportunity for the American people to hold our elected officials accountable to fixing the Court.
The reforms from the Biden-Harris Administration comes on the heels of UFD’s latest campaign calling on Congress to use its power to hold MAGA Justices accountable and curb their ongoing power grab to serve their billionaire and special-interests backers.
The American people have been paying the price of the Court’s corruption and are calling the Court’s legitimacy into question. In fact, 62 percent of Americans disapprove of the Supreme Court’s actions. The Court’s approval rating has not risen higher than 47 percent since overturning Roe v. Wade.
