Senate Democrats are pursuing legislation this week that would set a binding ethics code for the U.S. Supreme Court following revelations that some conservative justices have failed to disclose luxury trips and real estate transactions - a measure facing an uphill battle thanks to Republican opposition.

    The supreme Court also needs to be expanded and repaired by packing in liberal judges until the makeup of the court reflects the values of the majority of the country.

      Term limits are a great way to mitigate effects of judges. While an opposing party may control it for a time, it will end. Expansion does nothing to solve this, but may temporarily appear to. Until again, an opposing party elects judges to fill those seats you just added.

      There should be term & age limits on all our representatives.

      so what happens when republicans take back the Senate and the presidency and then add like 10 conservative justices to balance out the liberal ones

        Not going to stop until we’re all supreme court judges

        Then we return to the situation we are in right now. But the supreme court will not be whatever it is right now at least for a while

        They already doing it. They were doing it for years already. They will not stop doing it until there will be some ethical oversight that can actually do something
