The bill, H. 3102, is a concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that calls on the United States Congress to enact legislation imposing term limits for the Supreme Court of the United States. The resolution highlights a growing concern among citizens and elected officials regarding the lack of nonpartisan trust in the Supreme Court, suggesting that term limits could help address issues related to the politicization of the appointment process and restore public confidence in the institution.
Additionally, the resolution commends the Supreme Court for adopting an ethical Justices' Code of Conduct, which consists of five ethical canons intended to guide justices in their duties. The General Assembly expresses its gratitude for this initiative while advocating for the implementation of term limits as a means to enhance the integrity and trustworthiness of the Supreme Court.
