Make it illegal for more than 10% of SCOTUS can be from same school or religion. 7 Justices are catholic,,,,u know that religious cult with the predator child abusing priests.

I personally do support this, but I Elizabeth Warren’s campaign showed us the limited appeal of procedural radicalism of this sort. And it may actually be harmful if Democrats are associated with this kind of power play with no actual willingness on the part of party leaders to make it happen. In the here and now, we should be demanding the retirements of Sotomayor and Kagan. They are both 65+ and we have the senate for a few months. The fact that the RBG problem keeps happening is unreal. Get some 45 year olds confirmed now!

Maybe in Warren's case, it was the delivery. Are they both 65+? 😭 One more thing to fret over.

My mistake. Kagan is 63 and Sotomayor is 69. I am not sure why I thought Kagan was 65 because I just looked last week. But let’s say we lose the presidency and senate for 8 years—both are really in the danger zone. I can’t believe this hasn’t been a topic.

As for procedure issues, I have to give more thought to what I mean.
