In Balls & Strikes, Jay Willis takes on Noah Feldman's Bloomberg column arguing that Democrats should skip "radical" Supreme Court reforms and instead count on 2028 wins and the retirements of Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito by 2032 to flip the Court. Willis calls that a fantasy rather than a plan, arguing the six-justice conservative supermajority — which has overturned Roe v. Wade, ended affirmative action, and eviscerated the Voting Rights Act — must be checked through expansion, while the newsletter also flags GOP lame-duck judicial confirmations and quotes Elie Mystal's warning that a Democrat unwilling to break the Court's power is wasting everyone's time.
