Khanna and Beyer first introduced in 2020, would establish 18-year term limits on any Supreme Court Justices approved after the bill is signed into law. After their 18-year terms, justices would then be allowed to continue their service on lower courts.\n\nA 2020 poll from Fix the Court and PSB found that 77% of Americans support restrictions on terms served by Supreme Court justices. Term limits proposals are supported by a range of conservative and liberal legal scholars and elected officials and even Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Stephen Breyer and Justice Elena Kagan have expressed interest in term limits.\n\n\u201cPublic trust in the Supreme Court is at a historic low. Since we first introduced this legislation in 2020, extreme conservatives on the Court have overturned Dobbs, ended Chevron deference, given presidents absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, and some have been exposed for accepting lavish gifts. Term limits and a binding code of ethics will rebalance the Court and rebuild confidence in our institutions. I\u2019m glad to see the administration heed our calls for Supreme Court reform and I\u2019m proud to have led this effort with Rep. Beyer and my colleagues,\u201d said Rep. Ro Khanna.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://beyer.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=6279"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.7121473103761673, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
