do you know if any insider-ish type has put out something about what the likely reform would be? The options, from packing to jurisdiction stripping etc. have a pretty wide range of impact and norm breaking
Adding a justice for each circuit+adding a circuit or two is something that I think dems could pitch as serving a functional purpose as well as shifting the balance of the court
I’ve long thought this was the sensible approach. Rs and NYT will howl, but it won’t feel like overreach to the vast majority of D voters. Especially now.
I don’t know that we *should* really. They should run on countering the corrupt court and then hash out what’s the maximum they can get out of the legislature once they’re there.
one of the things it seems like democrats could learn from trump is running on "we're going to do the most beautiful court reform you've ever seen" might work better than "we are going to add x circuits with y judges." *i* want details obvs but that's my job
If one of them dies, the Court may reform itself; if two of them do, it definitely will. But frankly the system is out of whack and you should pursue it anyway.
