A Different Kind of Supreme Court Reform Is Already Happening
The left is finally paying attention to the court, and it might be having an impact.

But here is where we slightly miss the point: It is this sustained and productive frustration on the left that is really new and, in theory, transformational. It signals that the court has become a big, important issue. A progressive left that often sleepwalked through the Merrick Garland blockade and had no idea how to message the judiciary in 2016 is now wide awake and furious. New progressive groups are pushing a debate about the courts that lived for years only on academic panels. Liberals who were outraged about the norm-busting hardball around Garland, Kavanaugh, and Barrett are not in fact waiting around for an adverse abortion or guns decision. They are energized about court reform right now, and they aren’t waiting for radical decisions to demand change. (P.S. We are already seeing radical decisions.)
