The proposal includes an 18-year term limit for members, a binding code of ethics like the one established for all other federal judges, and a reversal of the disastrous presidential immunity doctrine adopted earlier this month by the conservative supermajority.\n\nCongressman Cohen made the following statement:\n\n\u201cI wholeheartedly endorse President Biden\u2019s proposed reforms for the U.S. Supreme Court and his proposed \u2018No One is Above the Law\u2019 Constitutional Amendment. I have been advocating these ideas for a long time as the Supreme Court has lost its legitimacy and the public\u2019s trust, especially with the \u2018president is a king\u2019 decision. This ultra-conservative court does not represent mainstream opinion on many matters, especially fundamental rights as demonstrated in the Dobbs ruling. The Supreme Court must be a creature of its time. Term limits will keep it current. No president should be above the law and this month\u2019s ruling granting presidents immunity from prosecution was a sharp divergence from historical precedent and common sense. Finally, as the outrageous conduct of Justices Alito and Thomas has demonstrated, some meaningful brake on unethical behavior must be imposed. I look forward to working with the Judiciary Committee to advance these reforms.\u201d", 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://cohen.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cohen-endorses-president-bidens-us-supreme-court-reforms"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7280497811734676, "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"}
