Man the SC has done a horrible job handling this. Between the Trump immunity case and overturning Roe, I don’t see how it doesn’t result in significant SC reform over the next 10-20 years. Term limits, ethics codes, limits to what they can and can’t overturn. It’s basically 6 idiots not realizing they’re going to make the court everything they don’t want it to be due to their corruption and partisanship

All the the problems have been from one side of the court, so it's going to take a large Dem majority in the Senate, plus the House and Potus, to get any reform through. Also- I believe term limits would require an amendment, but maybe (???) some sort of ethics rules could be a federal law. Hard to say. Impeachment maybe be the most likely way out of it, but I think that is still quite unlikely.

anything requiring the senate is pretty much DOA.

It was a good idea in theory, but ultimately became a poison pill for this nation.
