> Reforms that would break the supermajority right-wing Court’s grip on the country — its operating as a legislative veto for Democratic administrations and a hall pass for Republican ones — would go far beyond docket management and ethics reforms, though. Term limits, court packing, jurisdiction stripping — the ideas lighting up the intellectual left and spreading to Democratic officials would overhaul the Court as we know it.

Tennessee Republicans salivating at the chance to draw out the last Democratic seat in Tennessee We get 40% of our budget from the federal government. At what point to Blue states stop sending us money? This all has a very secession-y vibe to it. #SCOTUSReform #UnpackTheCourt

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.

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.

The #legislation would also require #SCOTUS nominees to be automatically scheduled for a vote in the #Senate if their nominations have lingered in committee for >180 days.

The measure would prevent senators from blocking a president’s nominees by refusing to hold a vote on them, as then-Senate Majority Leader #MitchMcConnell (R-KY) did after President Barack #Obama’s nomination of #MerrickGarland in 2016.

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.

But in practice, they are also constrained by norms & conventions. Since the early 20th century, for instance, #Congress has not dissolved #FederalCourts whose #judges displease it—which did happen in the more distant past. The idea of #CourtPacking has been considered out of bounds ever since #FDR tried & failed to reshape #SCOTUS in the 1930s by proposing to appoint up to 6 additional justices.
