How Are We Going To Reform The Supreme Court?

Democrats weigh in.
By Susie Madrak — May 1, 2026

I really like listening to Jamelle Bouie. He is so smart, and so reasonable, he makes me feel hopeful again. But he's not the only Democrat out there talking about the urgent need to reform the Court -- something that's impossible to do with a Republican president. Yes, we need to make things affordable for working people, but we also need representatives that are out there talking about Court reform every damned day:

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

Jeffries says everything is on the table legislatively to deal with the Supreme Court:

In the new Congress, we’re going to have to do something about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear: everything is on the table.

Don't think I've ever seen @rickhasen.bsky.social this angry.

"The Supreme Court itself has shown itself to be the enemy of democracy. [Democrats] have to consider reform of the Supreme Court itself, a conclusion I had been resisting until the court made this unavoidable."

Warnock on SCOTUS:

No one elected this Court—to decide what kind of remedies we need in this moment. It’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, we have reached the threshold where this issue around race and inclusion is no longer necessary.” That is not the job of the Court.

anyway I think this is the best realistic court reform proposal I've seen. double the federal judiciary and make SCOTUS a random draw of the entire federal bench www.liberalcurrents.com/break-up-the...

I wrote for @contrariannews.org about LA v. Callais:

The Supreme Court Has Demolished the Voting Rights Act | The Callais decision is a coup against multiracial democracy

100%.

Until the Supreme Court is reformed and the corrupt members removed, nothing else matters because the Supreme Court and its corrupt members will just stand in the way of everything else.

Any Democrat who can't get behind that simple fact should leave politics now.
