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.

@Deglassco At least we have a chance to make it work. Nothing is ever perfect, and nothing ventured…you know how it goes. At least an attempt is being made to establish a space where an ideal is at least experimented with. Maybe we can continue to try and manifest.
@ifilljustice I am a fan of the way they do it in the U.K. Funding is 100% public and private funds by corporations “people”, have a reduced influence in the influencing of the electorate.
