Justice & Court Reform

As the former chair and now ranking member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet, Congressman Johnson is the leading voice in the House on court reform -- particularly the Supreme Court. Even before the 6-3 right-wing supermajority took control of the court, Rep. Johnson proposed legislation to expand the court (Judiciary Act), require that the justices follow a code of ethics, transparency and recusal standards (SCERT) and establish term limits (TERM Act). 

Rep. Johnson's other court reform legislation includes transparency measures for amicus briefs (AMICUS Act), modernizing the federal courts' record systems (21st Century Courts & Open Courts Act), expanding district courtships (District Courts Judgeships Act) and requiring the courts to protect their employees from workplace harassment (Judicial Accountability Act).
