President Joe Biden has suggested he will appoint progressive justices to the Supreme Court if he wins a second term in the White House in November.

“The next president, they’re going to be able to appoint a couple of justices… Look, if in fact we’re able to change some of the justices when they retire and put in really progressive judges like we’ve always had, tell me that won’t change your life,” he said during a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

    Not really obviously best. But there’s obvious, well known problems that can be obviously improved.

    • Don’t let the president alone appoint candidates. Include states or the justice system.
    • I assume the Senate confirms with a simple majority; increase to 2/3 majority.
    • Separate questions of constitutionality from top-court-revision processes.
