It may be that this Supreme Court is emboldened enough to overturn Roe without doing much to hide the ball. That& #39;s the moment when talk about court "reform" is going to get real. 1/

If that happens, I hope that we& #39;re not going to think about "reform" only as incremental stuff like judicial term limits and court expansion. I hope we go deeper and ask whether we really want courts to exercise so much power at all. 2/

The U.S. has drifted closer to rule-by-judges than any other liberal democratic state. And there& #39;s nothing to celebrate about that. It& #39;s empowered lawyers, disempowered citizens, and turned what could be democracy-enhancing political debates into arid legalism. 3/

I& #39;d like to see Congress exercising its power to interpret the constitution& #39;s meaning. And to enforce that interpretation against judicial intervention by stripping courts& #39; jurisdiction. 4/ https://newrepublic.com/article/158992/biden-trump-supreme-court-2020-jurisdiction-stripping">https://newrepublic.com/article/1...

And if courts resist, Congress has every right to make them hold bake sales to pay the rent on their fancy buildings. /end
