The Supreme Court and the Future of Democracy
The Supreme Court’s extreme supermajority is reshaping the Constitution and the country. Most recently it concocted broad immunity for presidents who break the law.

Once again, as in earlier times, a response to the Court has become a major political force. How can we respond to the Supreme Court? What reforms will make a difference? How can we make sure that the Supreme Court no longer threatens American democracy?
