(10,084 posts)And I know we all try our hardest to do that! Only with more Democrats who are willing to make some changes with the SC will we see more accountability. The first change needs to be term limitsmaximum 18 years. The second needs to be a code legal code of ethics. The third needs to be overhauling the shadow docket system where the Court can let laws stand without hearing any arguments, as they did with the Texas abortion law. And a fourth possibility, though it might not be possible, is to allow a president to nominate no more than two justices even if that person serves two terms. No one person should be allowed to pack the Court.
Im mostly on the fence about whether to expand the Court, though there are good arguments for doing so and for leaving it at the current size.
