Exploring Court Reform Proposals

The podcast outlines various proposals aimed at reforming the Supreme Court, with a key focus on implementing an 18-year term limit for justices. The conversation highlights specific plans presented to Congress, including those by Senator Whitehouse and Representative Khanna, and discusses the constitutional and political complications associated with these proposals. One major concern is the retroactive impact on current justices, as moving away from lifetime appointments raises questions about legality and fairness. The speakers reflect on the challenges in achieving bipartisan support for any significant reforms while striving for a system that addresses these concerns.
