Next on the Docket: Dismantling Democracy
The Supreme Court is enabling Trump’s corruption while also doing the kind of institutional damage that will long outlast him.

On @strictscrutiny.bsky.social, we noted that Alito hadn't recused in Suncor (he owns stock in 2 oil companies, & he flew on a PJ owned by someone w interests in one of the companies in the case). He's now recused. . . which likely means there are still 5 votes for Big Oil. tinyurl.com/2425sh73

This was really interesting. I’d assumed Supreme Court reform would require a constitutional amendment, but everything other than its existence is set by ordinary law. So there are all kind of things we could do to make the Supreme Court, and the federal courts more broadly, work better.
