On the Supreme Court, October 22, 2010

One attractive path for making our feelings known on this issue in a way the Court will understand would be, as I also mentioned in the Justice Thomas thread, reintroducing the text of the Judiciary Reorganization Act of 1937. If passed today, it would give the President about five appointments to the Supreme Court, along with adding needed flexibility for lower court dockets. The new appointments, exercisable immediately, together with a dash of filibuster reform to facilitate Senate approval of nominees, would certainly bring a gust of fresh energy and perspective to the Court.
