Two senior House Democratic leaders said Wednesday that the party will pursue major judicial reforms, including to the U.S. Supreme Court, if it retakes the majority in November. The two leaders linked the proposals to recent Court rulings and the mid-decade redistricting fight now underway across the country.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus, said at a press conference Wednesday morning that recent Court rulings have made reform necessary and accused the Supreme Court of favoring the Republicans.
