In short, it calls for expanding the number of justices from nine to 15, with five affiliated with Democrats, five affiliated with Republicans, and five apolitical justices chosen by the first 10.


quote:

Buttigieg has said structural democratic reform would be his top priority, vowing to launch a commission on depoliticizing the Supreme Court on his first day as president.

Buttigieg hasn’t ruled out other possibilities for court reform, but says the 15-justice plan is “the one that I find most intriguing.” Supreme Court experts, though, have raised concerns about whether the proposal is constitutional, as well as whether it could backfire by reinforcing the perception that there are Republican and Democratic affiliated justices


Let's de-politicize the Court by declaring 66% of members to be strictly partisan. Also this only matters because we politicized the Court. Also this is a huge problem, even though the vast majority of cases are decided by a healthy majority.

While a shitty idea, it's not his worst idea.

He's so terrible.

I'll start giving a rat's rectum about him when he wins a primary. Or even comes in third.

Typical big-government type. "Making things needlessly complex because I don't like them will make them better".

While both sides bitch about the SCOTUS, if you look at the totality of cases in each term, you find a lot of diversity in voting with people like Breyer siding with Thomas. It's only the few high profile cases that cause all the controversy

So he effectively wants to reduce the number of justices from 9 to 5.

Years as in until 2020. If Beto has lasted this long, penis Pete will most certainly try to get some votes in the election.
