I do suspect we’d need to suggest the most extreme restructuring option possible to get him to where we-the-left want him to be but that has been true of Biden basically his entire career.
I’m only sort of kidding! A true court reform would reduce the salience of the supreme court, not by hoping for better judges but by changing the systemic incentives.
Absolutely valid, I was speaking to getting Biden on-side with the idea, not how you get it enacted.
For Congress I think the same pressure applies -- get them to see that the reasonable middle ground *is* expansion and scaling back some of their unwritten powers.
i mean, maybe?? one of biden's first acts as president was establishing a commission that issued a finding recommending against any judicial reforms and admonishing against taking actions that might diminish the public's perception of the courts' legitimacy
