Sherrilyn IfillI’m a civil rights lawyer. I don’t want to practice before a Court that’s compromised. I want a fair Court. Expansion would make this particular Court more ideologically balanced. Agree. But w/o a real, enforced ethics infrastructure, there will be 18 justices not fully disclosing financials, not compelled to recuse, praying in chambers w/their own faith leaders, going on trips w/groups filing briefs in cases before them, owning stock in indiv companies whose interests are before the Court.
This is not a “centrist” position. B/c the claims of those who are most marginalized will never have the same chance in a system that is “unrigged” in one way, but not in these others. “Ideology” is a very broad term that doesn’t capture the ways in which what is considered “liberal” can leave intact interests and relationships that do not benefit the clients I’ve been privileged to serve.
