I say abolish the court altogether. Plenty of countries without a high court! (Cheers Mr. Khanna.)
Yeh no shit, long overdue since it has been fully corrupted
The only people who don’t want term limits are the ones currently sitting in those chairs.
Why not elections too? We obviously can’t keep entrusting fate to determine what roomful of oligarchs get to pick a new judge.
#BALANCE THE COURT
The left needs to take note of how the right does it: language.
That POS Frank Luntz was really effective at helping to destroy the country through language / propaganda.
McConnell spent 422 days stalling the SCOTUS selection, resulting in less access to liberties such as voting and access to abortion. They have caused mass polarization by allowing partisan gerrymandering, fueled by endless dark money.
Things will only get worse for your family. There is no off-ramp except SCOTUS expansion.
Term limits for congress is what the country needs
Mitch McConnell rigged the court and that still needs to be addressed.
Agreed. Term limits in the Senate/House as well. No more of this 20+ years in Congress! The House is elected every two years, 12 years max for them, and three terms in the senate, 18 years max. Maybe even shorter.
Yes and yes
We need to have 13 justices each with a 26 year term so that presidents appoint a new judge on their first and their 3rd year in office. If a judge resigns or passes away then that slot stays empty until the term is up.
Definitely term limits
Definitely term limits
That is the start of what should happen. But it’s a good first step.
court expansion has been the right call for years, but it’s funny how it takes yet another voting rights L for people to say it out loud like it’s a new idea.
13 Justices, one for each Circuit. 13 year terms. 2/3 Senate majority required. No idea how to make this happen politically.
Term limits for every single branch of government
Ro Khanna doesn’t sound like the name of someone who’s opinion anyone should give a shit about.
Democrats expanding the Supreme Court would just be introducing a weapon that’ll eventually be used against them. You think if you expand the Supreme Court you can stack it in your favor and only your favor? The Republicans will end up being able to stack it with their loyalists in due time.
And the more justices the longer it’ll take for the court to reach decisions. It’ll be more partisan filibustering and all the bullshit that we don’t want.
Now let’s see him call for term limits for Congress.
Good luck with that
It is absolutely fucking insane that the USA has a political judiciary
Total fucking madness
Buddy, we need to do this when there is a D in the presidency
The more I listen to Ro, the more I like this guy. He speaks out in a voice that’s unafraid. That has to be hard in this climate.
He is willing to call out Trumps crimes.
He also has some very good ideas on repairing our economy.
Personally I think he deserves a higher office.
I’m not American, but what surprises me is how many Americans fail to understand that you founders NEVER intended for the Constitution to hold you as a populace hostage, the way that those justices use it.
You were never meant to be beholden to any law as long as a sufficient, pre-determined proportion of your population deemed the law to be aggregious or no longer in the best interest of the country.
In fact, it’s the very institution which was corrupted and holding America hostage through arcane law and power (a monarchy with very few but still prominent unelected sway and power) which this whole experiment was designed to challenge.
Your court now holds your country hostage, and you refuse to challenge it in any meaningful way. You can make a difference, but through apathy, powerlessness and control, you abdicate your citizen’s responsibility.
May god have mercy on you.
