  1. The Council of Europe urges Serbia to change judicial laws.

    Serbia’s recent judicial reforms were rushed through without adequate public debate, a Council of Europe expert body warned on Friday, as it suggested revisions to some of the controversial aspects of the law.

  6. Each justice would be required to publicly release their opinions & disclose how they voted on issues considered on an emergency basis, sometimes referred to as the #ShadowDocket. Such decisions, which have become more common & increasingly controversial in recent years, don’t identify how each justice voted.

  7. It would require the #IRS to initiate an #audit of the justices’ tax returns each year, release the results & make the tax filings public. Nominees to the court would have to disclose 3 yrs of tax returns.

    Another measure would allow a two-thirds vote of the court to force a fellow justice to #recuse from a case.

  12. During the rollout, each president would approve justices in the first & third year of their terms.
    
The bill would also require a ruling by ⅔ of the high court & the circuit courts of appeals, rather than a simple majority, to overturn a #law passed by #Congress. #Wyden said the current court has been too quick to discard #precedent & curtail #rights by narrow majorities.

  13. This is a really interesting discussion about the government's judicial overhaul program. I found Prof Porat's discussion about how our High Court could apply Jewish law to resolve some of the issues caused by our lack of a constitution to be really interesting. 🤔

  14. #PlannedParenthood calls for major judicial reform

    Planned Parenthood is calling for the major reform of the federal judiciary less than a year after the fall of#RoeVWade, including expanding the Supreme Court and adding term limits.

    #MatthewKacsmaryk's #AbortionPill ruling has been temporarily blocked by the Supreme Court, but the 5th Circuit Court if Appeals is scheduled to hear oral arguments on Wednesday.

  15. Imagine for a moment an alternate reality where the current Israel government under Benjamin Netanyahu is sincere in its stated desire to bolster democracy in Israel? What could they do with the pretty substantial majority they received in our recent elections?

  16. Democracy has been on my mind a lot lately with the current Israeli government's moves to "reform" our Judiciary, and essentially cripple it in the process. The consequences of this for our democracy will be devastating.

    Here is a part of a discussion about the elements of an effective democracy:

    And here is my post where I explore this further, particularly in the #Israeli context.

  19. "The current court needs reform; the list of liberals who think so is almost as long as the list of conservatives. But the court Levin seeks to build is not made to free future Yitzhak Rabins from judicial overreach. It seems tailor-made, as part of its astoundingly far-reaching impact, to allow future Aryeh Deris to — not to put too fine a point on it — steal and lie without consequence." - #HavivRettigGur writing for #TimesOfIsrael
