Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Supreme Court Review Act of 2026 establishes a fast-track legislative process for Congress to respond to Supreme Court decisions. Specifically, it allows Congress to pass joint resolutions that overturn or modify Supreme Court rulings that either interpret federal law or diminish constitutional rights previously protected by the Constitution. The bill affects lawmakers and the general public by enabling more rapid legislative responses to controversial Court decisions, with a 10-day window to introduce relevant bills and streamlined Senate procedures including limited debate, restricted amendments, and expedited voting. The legislation does not appropriate any specific funding and sets tight procedural timelines, such as requiring committee action within 30 days of referral and limiting floor debate to 10 hours total. This process applies only to joint resolutions that directly address a particular Supreme Court decision and remain germane to that decision's core holding.
