Major Judicial Reform: Court Expansion, Tax Transparency, and Supermajority Rules

This Act significantly expands the Supreme Court to 15 justices and adds numerous judges to lower federal courts, aiming to speed up case resolution for citizens. It mandates unprecedented transparency, requiring Supreme Court justices to publicly disclose their tax returns, IRS audit reports, and individual votes in appellate cases. Crucially, the Supreme Court would need a 2/3 supermajority to invalidate any Act passed by Congress, enhancing the stability of federal laws.
Key points
The Supreme Court will expand to 15 justices, with mandatory appointment schedules for the President.
Supreme Court justices must publicly disclose their income tax returns, related audit materials, and their individual votes in all appellate cases.
Federal courts must use a 2/3 supermajority vote to strike down any law passed by Congress, making it harder to overturn federal legislation.
The federal court system is reorganized, creating new circuits and adding dozens of judges to trial and appeals courts to handle caseloads faster.
