AFSCME’s Saunders: Supreme Court reform will end the culture of corruption that puts our rights up for sale

“Within a few short years, the Supreme Court has worked to undermine workers’ rights, dismantled reproductive freedom and given a president — current or former — criminal immunity for acts committed while in office. It is clear that the highest court in the land is failing to uphold our rights and safeguard our democracy. While we fight to restore these freedoms, justices are taking lavish vacations on the dime of billionaires who want to roll back our rights even further. President Biden is right: Enough is enough. We need reform and accountability.

 

“Term limits and an enforceable code of ethics will help ensure that the court is untainted by anti-democratic special interests and will restore confidence in its work. These important steps will help balance the scales of justice when workers are fighting for their rights. We will work to pass these vital proposals.”
