Fix the Court is a non-governmental agency, in the United States, established to lobby for reform of the Supreme Court of the United States.[1]

Security Today reported that an NGO, Fix the Court, has been critical of the lack of transparency over how this protection has been provided.[1] The group reported that Freedom of Information Act requests showed that Chief Justice Roberts did not ask for protection for the US leg of a trip to Japan. They reported that the Marshals protecting Antonin Scalia were unaware of his health concerns during his fatal 2016 trip to Texas.
