Congress has the power to hurt SCOTUS through docket control, budget cuts, and rapid responses to bullshit statutory construction cases like the odious decision in Callais by reenacting the laws with additional language rejecting those ruleings. Before we fiddle with court-packing we should try to re-establish the guardrails this bunch of anti-democracy rogues has put in place.
If Dems take the legislature, another step would be to hold hearings on the anti-democracy. anti- Congress, and pro-Trump decisions.
Then hold a hearing on the meaning of the Constitutional provision that federal judges hold office during good behavior. These decisions aren't just bad law, they are an affront to American ideals of the role of government and the Constitution.
Then start impeachment proceedings. I expect several of them to retire to spend more time with their families. That's what happened when Roosevelt threatened to pack the Court.
Agree—go after them. With all due respect to Noah, Democrats should be even more aggressive. Yes, end the filibuster. But why is court expansion a preferable remedy to jurisdiction stripping on individual bills and legislation to reform the Court by limiting judicial review and constraining the use of shadow dockets?
Plus, since the conservatives on SCOTUS have no regard for the separation of powers, why should Democrats? Attack them publicly and head on over their individual corruption and for carrying water for the Epstein class. Investigate Kavanaugh as he should been. Heck, issue subpoenas to compel testimony in corruption hearings. The last may or may not work, but at least it will make Roberts tap dance and treat voters to the sight of justices telling them that they don’t have to explain anything to anybody.
Voting Rights Act was 1965. Civil Rights Act was 1968.
Thanks -- I corrected that
