Senate Democrats introduced legislation on Thursday to place term limits on Supreme Court justices, reigniting debate around the issue championed by Democrats in the House and the Senate.
Oh, and how about some ethics rules? Didn’t Amy Coney Barrett just come out in favor?
According to another poster in a different thread a few days ago, the ethics guidelines are basically already in place and just aren’t enforced. That person suggested that we need more enforcement or penalties rather than more ethics rules.
I like your idea of adding more justices because of what you said about diluting the president’s power to appoint a majority. It’s an interesting point, although we shouldn’t be in the situation we are in now (“Wait, wait, you can’t rush the process…oh, now that we have the majority we need to finish this quickly!”)
