A Hollywood magnate has pledged $30 million to fund a think tank that will push to overhaul the U.S. Supreme Court.
This week, reports surfaced that film producer Jim Kohlberg—also the chairman and co-founder of the private equity firm Kohlberg & Co.—will fund “research, public outreach and policy advocacy” on how to radically change the nation’s highest court. The money will go to the Brennan Center for Justice, one of America’s most Left leaning groups. They’ve been vocal supporters of court-packing, ending lifetime judgeships and other extreme proposals.
The multi-million dollar pledge came only days after President Biden announced he’ll be proposing major changes to the Supreme Court, which include ending life tenure for justices and imposing a “code of ethics.”
