Adam Schiff: Rep. Schiff joins Rep. Johnson to introduce supreme court justice term limit measure to restore balance, legitimacy for scotus
Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) joined Representative Hank Johnson (D-GA.) to introduce the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act, which would set term limits for Supreme Court justices while establishing a process for Supreme Court appointments. Under the TERM Act, a new justice would take the bench every two years and spend 18 years in active service, while preserving constitutional protections for judicial independence in decision-making. The TERM Act is cosponsored by Representatives Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.).
