This lesson consists of two readings on the issue of President Biden’s proposal to reform the Supreme Court. The first reading reviews the binding code of conduct that the White House has proposed, as well as some of the scandals among justices that inspired this proposal. The second reading overviews the structure of the 18-year term limits that the White House has suggested, along with commentary on how such a system might impact the larger democratic process in the country. Questions for discussion follow each reading.
