Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress must urgently take all appropriate measures to guarantee civil rights and fair political representation to all Americans.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' sense that Congress must urgently restore the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to protect against racial discrimination in voting and ensure fair political representation for all Americans. It specifically calls for ending the 60-vote threshold in the Senate to allow for easier passage of legislation and proposes structural changes to the Supreme Court, including term limits for justices, a binding code of ethics, and potentially expanding the court's size. The text argues that recent Supreme Court decisions have weakened voting protections and enabled partisan gerrymandering, threatening the political power of communities of color and undermining democratic institutions. By outlining these specific legislative and structural goals, the bill aims to rebuild public trust in the judiciary and strengthen the mechanisms that guarantee equal access to the ballot box.
