Trump linked to the report by mentioning the source (see politico), which carried the headline that key House caucus leaders were targeting the high court and the Senate procedural rule.

House Democrats have proposed reforms to the Supreme Court, including 18-year term limits, according to news.vaquill. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has called for changes to the court, according to politicalwire. Enacting such changes would require altering the Senate filibuster if Democrats reclaim congressional majorities, according to news.vaquill.
