Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, said this week that Democrats are still eyeing major changes to the Supreme Court if they win the Senate in November.
During a Tuesday appearance on “All-In with Chris Hayes” on MSNOW, Booker openly discussed “reforming” the court.
Host Chris Hayes noted that many Democratic voters increasingly believe “something has to be done” about the court’s conservative majority.
He asked Booker whether going after the court had become a priority for Democrats seeking to regain power in November.
“The Supreme Court is another example of an area where most Americans agree,” Booker claimed.
Booker then argued in favor of imposing term limits on Supreme Court justices.
“In addition, most Americans agree that Supreme Court justices shouldn’t sit on those benches until they’re so ailing,” Booker said.
“So, yes, we have to think hard about how we’re going to reform the court and bring it back into alignment,” he added.
He also accused the court of having eviscerated “years and years and years of progress” by ruling last week that states cannot gerrymander districts based on race.
Booker’s threat comes after years of Democrats and liberal activists openly floating proposals to restructure the court.
