MI-SEN: Mallory McMorrow backs Supreme Court age limits, corporate PAC spending ban
Michigan Democratic US Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow wants to “explore every option” to reform the US Supreme Court, including expansion, age limits and implementing an independent code of conduct could help curb abuses of power and prevent conflicts of interest.
The proposal, shared first with Bridge Michigan, is part of the state lawmaker’s new anti-corruption agenda that also calls for bans on corporate political spending, a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision and additional financial disclosure requirements for PACs and dark money groups.
“It has been stunning to me that the one issue that cuts across everybody is just this seething rage that politics and government is corrupt,” McMorrow told Bridge. “This felt like a critically important thing to do.”
McMorrow’s plan includes proposed bans on several actions taken by Republican President Donald Trump, including using the Justice Department to settle personal legal claims, purging career civil servants and maintaining outside business interests.
