Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court plays a critical role in the life of every person in America. With many far-reaching decisions soon to be released, the activism of the court’s extreme right-wing majority may have dangerous consequences for individual rights and liberties and kitchen-table issues that affect all American families. The Center for American Progress recognizes the need for structural court reforms such as term limits, a binding code of ethics, and increased transparency that could help depoliticize the nation’s highest court and make it more reflective of the nation.
