• Expand the Court:

  • Increase the number of justices from 9 to 13—matching the number of circuit courts.

  • Distribute workloads more effectively and reduce the concentration of influence in too few hands.

  • Make it harder for billionaires and special interests to buy influence.

• Redefine Bribery & Enforce Criminal Penalties:

  • Restore strict definitions of bribery that the Court itself has eroded.

  • Make bribery of justices a criminal offense with real consequences, not just small fines.

• Judicial Review Reform:

  • Codify judicial review explicitly in the Constitution to end the legacy of the 1803 “power grab.”

  • Establish a clear, transparent process for deciding constitutional cases—ending opaque practices like the shadow docket.

• Limit Elite Capture of Justice:

  • Ensure ordinary Americans—not just the wealthy—have meaningful access to the highest court.

  • Break the cycle where money and privilege dominate outcomes.

• Acknowledge Law as Power:

  • Recognize, as Critical Legal Studies has argued, that law is often a tool of the powerful to maintain inequality.

  • Reclaim law as a tool for the people, not for entrenched elites.
