Congressman Johnson Denounces SCOTUS Decision Opening Door for Trump’s Attacks on Mail-in Ballots Ahead of November Elections

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04), ranking member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet, issued the following statement:  

“As it did with Trump’s unauthorized and illegal quest to build his golden ballroom, the 6/3 MAGA Supreme Court has used the shadow docket to grant Trump’s emergency petition that allows him to proceed with his nefarious plan to decide who gets to vote by mail. The real emergency is that a hyper-partisan Supreme Court is headed toward allowing Trump to steal the November elections. It is urgent that Congress passes my bill that places term limits on lifetime-tenured, unaccountable Supreme Court justices.
