PRESIDENT BIDEN RECOGNIZES NEED TO REIN IN RUNAWAY SUPREME COURT

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (July 16, 2024) – New reports this evening indicate that President Biden plans to endorse proposals to reform the federal judiciary. Take Back the Court Action Fund released the following statement in response on behalf of its president, Sarah Lipton-Lubet:

“The illegitimate right-wing court majority has so grossly exceeded the bounds of its authority and so blatantly abused its power that no honest observer can ignore the need for reform. Our demand to rein in the runaway court has gone from the streets to the halls of Congress and now to the Oval Office. It cannot stop there. Reforming this broken court is imperative — not just for protecting the hard-won rights of the last century, but for making any progress as a nation in the future. While ethics rules and term limits alone cannot fully restore balance and independence, today’s announcement is a watershed moment in the fight to take back the court.”
