Set 18-year terms for Supreme Court justices

In his 2026 Senate campaign, Krishnamoorthi supports the TERM Act, which would give each Supreme Court justice an 18-year term and allow each president to appoint a new justice every two years. He says the change is intended to limit any one president’s ability to shape the Court for generations while preserving judicial independence.

Context: The passage describes legislation he introduced; it does not say the limits are in effect. This is a Senate-campaign position, separate from his current House service. The precise answer date is unverified.
