Recent polling by NBC News reveals that only 22% of Americans currently have confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court. In response to this declining trust, a new proposal in Congress seeks to amend the Constitution to introduce 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices. This proposal is being discussed by Democratic Representative Johnny Olszewski of Maryland on “The Takeout.” The suggested term limits aim to address concerns about the Court’s growing unpopularity and ensure a more dynamic and responsive judicial system. The proposal reflects a significant shift in how the judiciary might operate, potentially impacting the balance and longevity of judicial influence in the U.S.
