Term Limits More Likely Than Court Packing from Biden Panel

[Fla Dem]

Not much news on the bi-partisan commission Biden is selecting to make recommendations regarding the future of the supreme court.

Was wondering what was going on as hadn't seen, heard or read anything about Supreme Court reform and it was all anyone wanted to talk about when Trump appointed Amy Coney Barrett.

This is the newest article I could find and it's almost a month old. Anyone hear or read anything newer?

Here they say, not court packing. Not going to be able to increase the number of seats with a bipartisan committee, but maybe term limits which could be a good thing.

Although just about a month old an informative article.

1. I wish I could help but this article - even older than yours - proposes a very interesting solution

Just a short excerpt:
"The way to save the court is to create another one. The United States should join scores of other nations, including Germany and France, and create a specialized court to decide constitutional questions."

2. Judicial term limits would require a Constitutional Amendment...

Don't see that happening anytime soon.

3. Yes, as stated in the article.

Creating term limits for Supreme Court justices is another possibility, though it would likely require a constitutional amendment.

Feldman said he could see the commission considering term limits for the Supreme Court “so that we would be spared the indignity and confusion and inappropriateness of worrying about the health of the justices.”

4. Term limits would further increase our disadvantage.

So they had better think again.

5. Term limits are a horrible idea
