Dems Rage After Pro-Life Ruling – Call For Supreme Court Term Limits
Martin Walsh September 8, 2021
Hawaii Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono is calling for term limits for U.S. Supreme Court justices.
During an interview on MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports,” Hirono — who said she supported banning justices having lifetime appointments — was asked about the House and Senate Judiciary committees holding hearings on the Supreme Court’s shadow docket.
Hirono said, “A lot of people don’t know what the shadow docket is. I think we’ll be hearing from scholars as to the abuse of the shadow docket by this Supreme Court because they’ve used the shadow docket to do the thing they just did, basically to overturn Roe v. Wade, 28 times in the Trump years and only four during the entire times of Bush and Obama. So there is in my view the abuse of power of the shadow docket and what’s going to happen probably is more calls for court reform.”
She continued, “We’re going to do everything we can to codify Roe v. Wade at the federal level but also at the state level because it’s the state legislators that are very busy, passing hundreds and hundreds of abortion limiting laws across the country and that is why people need to vote. They need to have legislators who are going to impose these kinds of draconian laws on women across the country, creating chaos, fear, chilling effect. We see what’s happening in Texas already.”
