Momentum is building. Expansion, term limits, ethics rules, transparency on shadow docket rulings, etc

Each year the most senior Justice must retire, beginning now. The president will nominate a justice every 6 months till we have 13 SCJs, one for each District Court. That can all be done without an amendment.

100%

Don't forget the outrageous donations. The big money needs to be taken out of American politics.

This, precisely this! Thank you.

Expand the court and you simply expand the number of people who can be corrupted. What we need are: 1) term limits 2) stricter rules (and enforcement of those rules) on accepting ANY additional income beyond base salary (e.g., gifts of any kind, stock market trading, dark money, etc.).

In 2029 and not 1 minute before. Expanding it now just gives trump more of "his justices"!!!

If we expand it now you get 3 more Kavanaughs , is that what you want?

Or prosecute the conservative justices on bribery charges.

I'm all for expanding SCOTUS...but only once Trump is out of office. If Trump decides to expand the court, we're in real trouble that'd take a century to walk back. Quietly, Democrats should be working on their plan to expand. (I hesitated even writing this post for fear of giving it air to MAGA.)

Right-size the court. Thirteen minimum.

I really like this solution. bsky.app/profile/libe...

You expand the Court right now and you have Trump appointing the judges.

Don’t expand it until Shitler is out of office.

Also the next Democratic President will have soooooo much of this Trump immunity. Could sue the govt over some one dollar issue, create a billion dollar settlement, pay of student debt with it. Sue again, trillion dollar settlement, free healthcare for everyone. That's how it works now. Isn't it?

It’s supposed to be 13,,, it was designed to be 13,,,, Why is it not 13??? Good question. 13 judges and 13 judicial circuits.

I may not be the most educated person in this room but I was quite certain you did not mean more Trump appointments.

We will need to reform the Supreme Court, break the filibuster, and fire every Democratic member of Congress who refuses to liberate politics from money, reforming the Supreme Court and reversing Citizens United are at the top of the list.

We need to think more boldly. The corrupted decisions of the Roberts’ court need to be reversed. Existing justices investigated for corruption and bribery. All future justices get government pay only, no outside anything. Quarterly public audits. IG assigned to investigate and prosecute crptn.

Since the Constitution bases House membership on population, the only way to expand it is to increase the number of people in a state - or amend the Constitution. If we’re going the amendment route, I say make the Senate more representative. It’s now nuts that CA & WY have the same # of senators.

Yep, one at a time. Blue wave coming for justice.

💯

We shouldn't give Trump any ideas. Read where Jim Jordan is advocating for Trump to increase the Court. Heaven forbid!

Then every case is heard by the entire court, and once oral arguments are finished, 9 justices are selected at random to decide the case. Make it extremely difficult to tailor an argument to a justice or bloc of justices.

And term limits and/or mandatory age retirement.

idiots all around, but yes--the court must be expanded. democrats must dismount from the faux high horses

Maybe also should have a rule, that first cases on any particular Constitutional Issue must be filed within 5 years of passage of any bill into law! So, precedent becomes a firm rule that wouldn't be revised by SCOTUS when desired by any changes of party in power at a given moment in time!

To add to this, AG...I just recently read that it's "believed" Trump wouldn't have the votes to confirm a 'replacement' for Thomas or Alito, should either decide to retire... Anyone else hear of this, or am I just late to the party? Republican Revolt incoming...?

Expansion. Term limits require an amendment. Some type of senior status is possible.

When the Dems have the presidency then we can expand the courts. We will never give the orange pus bag the chance to stack the courts.

When the court was determined to be nine justices, under President Grant, there were nine circuits. There are thirteen circuits today. Time to modernize and align the court again.

Among other things such as: Term limits, full financial disclosure as well as absolute recusal from cases with their involvement. Hell, At this point though- throw it all in the trash 🚮

Yes! But only after Republicans are ousted like the cancerous Republican racist tumors they are.

13 Fed districts, 13 justices.

Where does the constitution give the President immunity? Did I miss something?

Yes, keep up the truth and fight for us the unimportant people! 🤮🤮

The balls and strikes formulation was disingenuous from the start.

Don't just expand it, pack it!

If Trump expands the court he'll choose more patsies.

We need some Constitutional amendments and enforcement measures....

And term limits for both Congress & judges!

Yes, expand the Court...but not until we have a Dem. Pres. and Senate.

Well said.

Because otherwise, you'll eventually end up with an even bigger Republican majority.

Arrest Thomas & Alito & Leo & others for bribery. If what they did isn't illegal, then make it illegal & strip their citizenship. There must be consequences. Every mayor & police chief who advocated for broken window police policies needs to feel what that is like for white collar crimes

The republicans virtually stolen 2 supreme picks by separate rules for democrats and republicans so don't be gasslit by their hypocrisy you have to even the scales of justice the court is out of balance and just a political tool for the GOP and limit their terms lifetime appointments is ridiculous

Not until Dems control the Senate & House!

NOW? With Trump & GOP controlling everything?

Term limit the Court.

Ultra billionaire Leonard Leo of the Koch Network is the kingpin behind the destruction.

The truth is potent. Wow.

Move to Canada; you don't have the toolkit at this time in history. #sorry

Yes!

Democrat leaders (Schumer) were shocked & didn’t know what to do. Which unfortunately signaled to Republicans that they can just SHOCK Democrats into doing nothing to fight back. We need SHOCK PROOF Democratic Leaders who FIGHT right back & also present a NEW PERSPECTIVE of what America can be!

Please define “it” in your post.

Undo. All that trump has done. Includes Supreme Court Justices.

expanding the court won't work, we need to reform how judges are confirmed so a simple majority can't put a partisan judge into a position of great power. Requiring a 2/3rds majority of the senate to confirm a supreme court judge would be a great idea

“And so we as democrats, if elected to a majority, will: ________”

Expand the court. Term limits. At 18y you go emeritus. You continue with full salary, and your job is to educate the people on the constitution and the separation of powers.

Justice Robert’s, the judicial equivalent of Eddie Haskell. “ That’s a lovely argument, Mrs. Cleaver.”

I'd also point out this is a move which backfired almost everytime it was tried in other countries. It is also usually a far right proposition. It's what Orbán did in Hungary. You'd be better off with fixed term mandates.

The Supremely Corrupt Court needs to be held accountable for their support of Fascism.

Yes if Dems take house or senate they should introduce bill to that effect.

6 v. 200M. Those fuckers lose.

All of these 6 in the Majority should be investigated for lying under oath!

I know it was implicit but I would hate to see the GOP do a preemptive expansion. I cringe everytime I see some one say it on Blue sky.

The more we talk about court reform the better. If more people understand that we need a Democrat in the White House to make it happen , that’s better too.

best if paired with addressing the dark money campaign finance corruption that brought about the corrupt capture of scotus. 2-year congresses fly by. even the better party is limited by pols being pols. we must get them to focus on this root issue reform. i.e., for the people act/john lewis vr act

👇👇👇👇👇👇

No need to expand the court. Just remove the traitors.

The most irritating thing John Roberts said recently was how people don't understand why The Roberts Court isn't political. Right John, millions of people are wrong and you know better.

Not while the Trump regime is in the White House. We'll end up with the likes of Aileen Cannon and that yahoo in Texas. I'd rather see the court abolished and led off in shackles.

Agreed. Pack the SCOTUS to the hilt, let’s see how Roberts and his MAGA jurists on steroids are going to handle sequence of events!

Age limits.

Or reduce it.

EXPAND THE COURT!!

Impeach the corrupt judges like Thomas.

Thanks, George W. Bush. Roberts was rewarded for providing legal advice to George W. Bush and his brother Jeb during the 2000 Florida election recount. Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett were also part of Bush’s legal team. Oh and Thomas voted to halt the recount. Maybe look into that a bit more.

🙏

Yes, but Not yet! ☺️

John Roberts knows exactly what he's done and that it's evil. I hope he never gets another good night's sleep for the rest of his life or another moment of peace as long as he continues to draw breath.

I think we should impeach Robert's and the other judges for conspiracy to destroy our democracy when Democrats get in the white house.

Will never forgive 46th administration for doing absolutely nothing about utterly, and openly corrupt SC

But first a few impeachments seem to be warranted.

And impeach Roberts and his corrupt SCOTUS arm at the earliest opportunity.

#HeritageFoundation #P2025

Yes. Expand the court. The MAGA/Federalist Society influence has to be dilute.

That actually brings me to another critical element to all of this. The intentionally designed "slow grind" of legislative, executive, and judicial branches has never made any sense. We should speed run these changes this time. If we're gonna do it right and send a message, never do this again. +_+

Defang the court. Severely limit their scope. Establish a new Constitutional court to decide on matters in dispute by lower courts. Have Mrs Alito design a new flag that means "strictly symbolic", and then shove it up her husband's ass.

🎯!!!

💯

Is he literally speaking to John Robert’s there. If not, who is he speaking to?

Put them on trial first.

🎯 • Expand to 13 justices. • Mandatory ethics rules. (same as lower courts) • Term Limits (18 years preferable, no more than 20)

This is such a corrupt SCOTUS and Regime, I don't think expanding is helpful. We need ethics codes for them,investigations, trials and term limits. Our judges are corrupt and have accepted huge gifts, made dirty real estate deals & not recuse themselves when family members were involved. Shameful.

👍 Expand the court, Expand the house!

Expansion of the Court is a must. It's not an option.

And impeach at least the 2 most corrupt justices
