Raphael Warnock on NBC’s Meet The Press

Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock has said that Democrats must be ready to pack the Supreme Court and impose term limits if or when they take back power.

In an interview with Kristen Welker on NBC’s Meet The Press, Warnock was asked about long discussed plans among Democrats to rig the judiciary in their favor.

Here is a transcript of the exchange:

WELKER: Some of your colleagues and fellow Democrats are calling for adding additional seats to the Supreme Court. Would you support that? Would you vote to add additional seats to the Supreme Court?”

WARNOCK: I think we have to look at what’s happening in our country because it’s very serious. Donald Trump, in this most recent iteration, began this terrible race to the bottom that we’re seeing with gerrymandering by calling into Texas and saying, I need five more seats.

The Supreme Court then poured fuel on that fire and with a vengeance, while people are literally casting their votes. We’re seeing state legislatures, led by craven politicians, race to try to play with the lines to jimmy rig the outcome in order to make it impossible for ordinary American citizens to hold their elected officials accountable at a time where this economy is not working for us.

And the Supreme Court, continues to undermine his own credibility. I think that all options have to be on the table. We definitely need reform to this court. We need a code of ethics and, all options at this point. I have to be on the table.”

WELKER: So that includes adding seats and or term limits?

WARNOCK: All options have to be on the table.

Back in January, House Democrats introdicuedthe Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act.

The proposal would effectively end life tenure for Supreme Court justices and guarantee presidents a steady stream of appointments regardless of vacancies.

While it was unsuccessful, it could be used as a blueprint for legislation under another administration.
