Opinion | The Supreme Court isn’t well. The only hope for a cure is more justices.
Our service on the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court changed our minds about the need to counter the dubious legitimacy of recent appointments.
Hasnain says:
From a few of the authors on the recent committee investigating the Supreme Court and providing recommendations to the president.
“Though fellow commissioners and others have voiced concern about the impact that a report implicitly criticizing the Supreme Court might have on judicial independence and thus judicial legitimacy, we do not share that concern. Far worse are the dangers that flow from ignoring the court’s real problems — of pretending conditions have not changed; of insisting improper efforts to manipulate the court’s membership have not taken place; of looking the other way when the court seeks to undo decades of precedent relied on by half the population to shape their lives just because, given the new majority, it has the votes.”
