Editorial: Don’t pack the Supreme Court, reform it with transparency and ethics rules

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:16 GMT

As Americans reel from the destabilizing impact of a U.S. Supreme Court intent on tearing down decades of precedent in a matter of years, the question is what happens when a court with lifetime appointments goes rogue at the same time as lapses in ethics are exposed?Confidence in a once-beloved institution plummets.But even as the public clamors to strip power from those who have breached public trust, we still believe in reform of the court not tearing it down. It will not serve America well to impeach justices. Nor will it work to pack the court with more justices who can water down the influence of the religious radicals and those with dubious ties to Republican donors.Our founding fathers established the Supreme Court with lifetime appointments “during good behavior” so it would be a stabilizing force in America, checking the whims of elected officials and public sentiment with a body immune to elections and even insulated from the consequences of their decisions.Eve...
