The center-left think tank Third Way has released a proposal urging Democratic presidential candidates to champion 18-year term limits and an enforceable ethics code for Supreme Court justices. The plan seeks to bridge the ideological gap within the party, arguing that moderate reform is necessary to address declining public trust. While polling shows broad support for term limits, legislative progress remains stalled due to the current partisan gridlock in Congress.

"Clarence Thomas's Koch Links Fuel Supreme Court Reform Demands"

A report revealing Clarence Thomas's undisclosed participation in donor events organized by the hard-right Koch network has sparked calls for supreme court reform. The report alleges that Thomas attended Koch events at least twice, raising concerns about his impartiality in cases involving the network. Democrats have called for Thomas to recuse himself from upcoming cases, while critics argue that his actions violate financial disclosure laws and recusal laws for judges. However, the chances of ethics reform or Thomas's resignation/impeachment remain slim, given the Republican opposition and the conservative majority on the court.
