Congressman Johnson’s Statement on End of SCOTUS 2025-2026 Term

July 2, 2026 Press Release Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts Ranking Member Hank Johnson Released the Following Statement at the Conclusion of the Supreme Court’s Recent Term WASHINGTON, D.C. — “As America marks 250 years of independence from imperialist governance, with growing alarm we are witnessing the most activist Supreme Court in our nation’s history, as it reshapes our democracy into a plutocracy. “While this just-ended term brings a temporary pause to the Roberts Court’s continued assault on Congressional authority, there can be no doubt that this Supreme Court will continue its power grab transition into a “super legislature”, as it vests more and more power upon the most corrupt president in world history. “Mitch McConnell and the Federalist Society have built a Court that has upset the delicate system of checks and balances between the three co-equal branches of government, which has left democracy for all hanging by a thread. “To ensure the survival of American democracy, we must bring reform to a reckless and hyper-partisan United States Supreme Court. Calls for reforming the court with commonsense policies such as term limits, a binding and enforceable code of conduct and transparency and accountability measures will continue to grow as the 6-3 MAGA majority rush to remake our society and government in their pro-corporate, pro-authoritarian executive dogmatic vision.” ### Issues : Justice & Court Reform
