Casar takes on the Supremes
Amy Coney Barrett
To address the deeper issues that allow the court to act in partisan ways, Vladeck has a list of possible SCOTUS reforms at the ready, all of which he'd recommend before adding seats to the court. They include creating an inspector-general-like mechanism, which could investigate and ensure justices comply with ethics and financial disclosure rules.
It would also create a judicial investigation panel; if such a system existed today, the court's investigation of Clarence Thomas' financial secrets, for example, would involve hearings held by that investigation panel with subpoenaed witnesses, sworn testimony, and a published report on their findings; it would still take an impeachment for a justice to lose their seat.To Vladeck, the real issue is not any one reform that the public ought to coalesce around.
