Reforming The US Supreme Court

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, less than two months before the election, was a loss that reverberated deeply throughout the United States and, indeed, the world. It triggered what appeared to be an inevitable, and potentially long-lasting conservative majority on the US Supreme Court. As explored in a recent article, Ricki-Lee Gerbrandt explored the options available to mitigate the perceived politicization of the court.  Now, over 60 days into Biden's presidency,  she spoke with Mark Tushnet, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law, Emeritus at Harvard Law School, and author of Taking Back the Constitution (2020), about the different scenarios that could play out around court reform.
