    Netanyahu’s legislation would give the Knesset the power to overrule their Supreme Court with a simple majority vote. I’ve not seen anyone make an argument for such extreme measures to redress the US Supreme Court, and certainly not in this article. The most common arguments I’ve seen are,

    • Impose a Code of Ethics, and possibly to impeach the most obviously compromised justices
    • Add term limits, possibly retroactively
    • Expand the court

    These all have risks, but so does taking no action.
