Regarding SCOTUS term limits and an enforceable code of ethics: about damn time to move on these

I know that I have already mentioned this before on Substack and I have may even have already mentioned it here : the U.S. legal system is very quickly beginning to resemble the Medieval English one in which it could be said with some force that the law depended on the length of the Lord Chancellor’s foot.

If the Dems sweep (and given how red states continually vote against their own self interests, it’s a big if)Biden should add 4 more justices immediately..

Immediately.

they will not stop overturning precedents and breaking everything in the room like a spoiled toddler.

Blow up the filibuster and get the reforms done.

Reading through the episode descriptions of the Sidebar podcast, it looks like it could answer a lot of questions I’ve had about SCOTUS, and issues around it and constitutional law.

I look forward to hearing your episode, and then trawling through the previous ones. Thanks for the recommendation!

I see the breaking news on court reform. Injunctions are one area worthy of congressional action. Broad injunctions should be disfavored and subject to accelerated reviewed. Channeling them into the D.C. Circuit also has been put out there. Details complicated, I know.

Chris, what law firm is representing MFL? It doesn't

say on the notice at top.

MFL is just another part of

Project 2025 under their

dismantling the education

system. They think home

schooling is the way to go.

DeSantis, big backer and

implementer of MFL in FL

has seeded this disastrous

group. Youngkin in VA gave

them their own platform.

They have caused nothing

but divisiveness and trouble.

Am sure DeSantis will ra ra

them at the RNC circus now

performing.

I think that Project 2025 is important — and have already begun my coverage of it. But, I think it is inaccurate — and dangerous — to say that groups like Moms for Liberty are "just another part of Project 2025." They may support its aims — even be a part of it — but they are not "just" that. They exist independent of Project 2025 and likely will continue to seek to advance their aims regardless of Project 2025. It's almost semantic — but not quite.

Maybe I can almost see your

point. I live in Arkansas where

MFL have been busy for a

couple of years now. Project 2025 may have been

published 9 months or so

ago, but they've been

actively working within the

red states for longer than a

few months. For me, the

warning bell was what was

going on in FL. It started

bleeding into AR. Huckabee

Sanders is an acolyte of

Trump. Her governorship was

guaranteed here 2 years before she won election. I

pay close attention to a few

of our republican reps,

especially when they're on

home ground. The Political

Animals Club is a little known

about group here that has

a couple of interesting

members, all on the very

down low. I kid you not.

This is the deep south and

it gets nasty here. When Stephen Miller Flys into Little Rock for a visit, word spreads

fast.
