Long before today's debates over Supreme Court legitimacy, ethics, and reform dominated the headlines, The Electorette explored one of the central questions facing American democracy: How do we fix the Supreme Court?
In this archival conversation, host Jen Taylor-Skinner sits down with Meagan Hatcher-Mays to discuss one of the most debated reform proposals—expanding the Supreme Court—and whether adding justices alone is enough to restore public trust in the nation's highest court.
Together, they examine the legislative path to court expansion, the political challenges of passing reform through Congress, and why many advocates argue that structural changes—including term limits, stronger ethics rules, and greater transparency—are also essential to preserving the Court's legitimacy.
This conversation also explores how Supreme Court decisions shape issues ranging from voting rights and reproductive freedom to immigration and the health of American democracy, making the case that judicial reform extends far beyond partisan politics.
Originally released in 2021, this conversation offers timely context for today's ongoing debates over the future of the Supreme Court.
