I've come to wonder how legal reforms can even matter in America anymore. If the Supreme Court can overturn the most well-tested and litigated reforms passed in the last century with the most strenuous arguments, then what is to say any reforms can last? If all it takes is one hyper-conservative court to undo decades of work from their predecessors, what hope is there for a reformatory future?
I've heard discussions of Supreme Court term limits, expansions, etc., but that doesn't really seem like a feasible solution either. All that means is you need a two-term conservative administration (maybe two separate well-placed presidencies), and you'd be in the exact same situation as the Roberts Court is now.
Seems the best place for such a question would be here, so there you have it. Also, if this has been covered in other threads adequately, please feel free to let me know below, and I will close/delete this post.
