Key House caucus leaders target Supreme Court, Senate filibuster
House Democratic caucus leaders are proposing a Supreme Court expansion, term limits, and a code of ethics for justices, alongside eliminating the Senate filibuster. The resolution responds to the Supreme Court's decision to narrow the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which allowed Republican states to redraw congressional maps and reduce majority-minority districts.
