A Business Executive and Philanthropist, has Pledged $30 million to launch a first-of-its-kind Center pushing to Overhaul the Supreme Court, after a Series of Ethics Controversies and Conservative Rulings, prompted Rising Scrutiny of the Justices.
The Major Gift from Jim Kohlberg, Chairman and Co-Founder of the Private Equity firm Kohlberg & Co., will Fund Research, Public Outreach, and Policy Advocacy over a Decade at the Prominent Brennan Center for Justice, which is affiliated with New York University.
The Announcement comes amid a Flurry of Democratic Activity related to Reshaping the High Court, which includes, forthcoming Proposals from President Biden to Limit Justices’ Terms and Enact a Binding Ethics Code, Legislation capping Gifts to Justices, and a Referral of Justice Clarence Thomas to the Justice Department for possible Prosecution. The Initiative will be called the Kohlberg Center on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Nonpartisan, Nonprofit Brennan Center has often supported Liberal positions on Voting, Criminal Justice, Money in Politics, and other Law and Policy Issues.
It was founded in 1995 and named after Justice William J. Brennan Jr., a Liberal Lion, and has a Staff of about 160. Brennan’s President, Michael Waldman, served on the 2021 Panel convened by Biden, that examined Supreme Court Reform and issued a Lengthy Report.
