Law professor Amy Kapczynski on why progressives need to move from a defensive position to a positive vision for the highest court in the country

The chief justice’s veiled end-of-year remarks seem to indicate that if the high court cannot reform itself, reform will be forced upon it.

Proponents of the controversial proposal to add justices to the high court will take little solace from the group’s final draft report.

The draft report, while long on critiques of court-packing, failed to address the root of the high court’s predicament—the confirmation process itself.

A bill to expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices seems motivated by political revenge, not sensible judicial reform.

Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation has won some surprising court-packing converts, but the broader public isn’t behind them—yet.

Her confirmation on Monday marked the end of an uneasy era in the Supreme Court’s history and the beginning of a tempestuous one.

This term, the conservative justices are dreaming up alternate realities to justify their preordained conclusions.
