Term limits would take decades to have an impact since I assume they don’t apply to current justices. The Court has no credibility since they are backing Trump’s extremist policies and bending the laws to suit conservatives. Expansion is the only solution.
People are mad at @samuelmoyn.bsky.social but this is a good piece from him and @ryandoerfler.bsky.social on need to accept that SCOTUS has become functionally illegitimate. Key point is legitimacy does require the public to think the court operates in good faith:www.theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.
For a long time John Roberts was supposed to be the Supreme Court's savviest *politcian*, in terms of preserving its image while pushing his conservative agenda. But "I helped Trump win and now I'm locking this place down" is pretty good evidence he lost the thread http://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u…
@nytimes.com editorial board: "Many lower courts have responded heroically to Mr. Trump’s ill-founded efforts to centralize power and weaken democracy." But the Supreme Court is "allowing Mr. Trump’s power grabs" instead of stabilizing American democracy.🎁 http://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/o…
Sad!
