""Faith in the court depends on its legitimacy as a fair and independent institution. Recent rulings that have thrown out decades of legal precedent, combined with ethically dubious behavior by sitting judges, are testing that faith.""
""Justices of the court should not be hobnobbing at White House dinners and flying on the private jets of friends who have business before the Court.""
Rep. Johnny Olszewski introduced the Reform of Bench Eligibility (ROBE) Act, proposing 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices. This bill aims to combat perceived corruption and partisanship within the court. It would ensure a regular rotation of justices every two years, transitioning current justices to the new rules without needing a constitutional amendment. Olszewski emphasized the importance of the court's legitimacy and criticized justices for unethical behavior, including attending social events with political implications and accepting gifts from influential donors.
