How the Supreme Court’s Corruption Is Locking Down Reform Public Policy in Its Tracks

I have written repeatedly that reform of the Supreme Court – neutralizing the corruption represented by the current rogue majority – is the sine qua non of a good future for the American republic. I want to give you another example of this centrality.

Recently, I was talking to someone who is very familiar with federal labor law, the framework that underlies the employment of the people who make the federal government run. There is a never-ending stream of proposed regulations and rules. We were discussing new news on this front, how this might play out in the future, etc. When I have these kinds of conversations with knowledgeable people, I usually ask them what they are hearing about groups emerging in their area with the goal of creating lists of Project 2029-style reforms to undo the damage we see today. It is not simply a question of returning to the status quo ante, as we have discussed. We are in a time where it is essential to make major structural changes when the opportunity presents itself and to build new structures that are more durable than those that have collapsed so quickly over the last decade and especially the last year. So it takes smart people to put some time into this work over the next three years, really think about it and put together this list of reforms, get support to get them done, and so on. You get the idea. We have already discussed this.
