Sherrilyn IfillMany commentators are tweeting & tooting that we need to expand the SCOTUS. That is not the answer to everything. Unless you just want a larger Court, not bound by ethics rules, engaging in the kind of behavior described in the NYT piece. What we need are guardrails - an understanding that the Court sits w/i our democracy. Our job us to strengthen it by creating the processes that promote impartiality & insulation from lobbying, not crossing our fingers & hoping for the best.
Alex Bowles@ifilljustice In the abstract, sure. In reality we have a stacked, corrupt court with a generation-spanning chokehold on the judiciary.
These people are hell bent on ending American democracy. They must be stopped now, and their paths to recovery must be blocked forever.
The only way to do that is (a) destroying the FedSoc's majority with a larger majority and (b) passing election reform so the seditious minority will never win elections again.
