This by @stevevladeck.bsky.social is important. 1. Court expansion deals with the problem of terrible outcomes. 2. I think the problem is that the Roberts Majority lawlessly abuse judicial review, with no respect for precedent and disregard of consequences. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Vladeck has a number of suggestions for solving problem 2. But he doesn't solve problem 1. I think the only solution to problem 1 is impeachment. Whether or not they are convicted and removed, impeachment hearings focus attention on both problems, making change possible. 2/3

Grounds for impeachment include corruption and misleading answers/lying in confirmation hearings, I think their utter disregard for our history and established norms as in Trump v. US, and attacks on Congress, esp. overruling the Voting Rights Act and Citizens United, are also grounds. 3/3
