Brian Tyler Cohen Urges Democrats to Expand Supreme Court to 13 Justices
What was said
"I've been asked what is the first thing that the left needs to do when it takes power again and I have said the first thing that needs to happen is court reform and court expansion."
Political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen's new book proposes expanding the Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices, implementing 18-year terms, mandatory retirement at 70, and an enforceable ethics code. Cohen argues that without court expansion, any progressive legislation passed by Democrats will face an automatic veto from the current conservative-majority Supreme Court. He made his case in an interview with California Governor Gavin Newsom, claiming to have persuaded the governor toward his position despite Newsom's previous reluctance on the issue.
