President Joe Biden is facing calls from activists in his own party to shake up the Supreme Court after a number of unfavorable decisions for Democrats were released.
Many liberal activists and Democratic politicians are calling for Biden to take action to reform the Supreme Court, calling for adding more justices and establishing term limits, according to The Wall Street Journal. The calls come after a number of decisions were released by the Supreme Court where the conservative majority ruled against issues like race-based college admissions and student loan debt forgiveness.
“President Biden should run on term limits in 2024. If he does, it will perhaps wake the court up so that they stop showing contempt for American public sentiment,” said Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California, according to the WSJ. He called for 18-year term limits for future Supreme Court justices, saying the court is “dominated by stubborn, old, extremist jurists who have contempt and little understanding for modern American life.”
