Be careful folks, the looney people are out today! I've never seen so much anger in our society! I love listening to you! Great idea of fixing the Supreme Justices!! Something has to be done, you are right!!
So you are losing and now want to change the rules. As if the GOP could not do same. Also they did not stack the court. RBG and a terrible politician named Hillary Clinton handed it to them in a box with a bow for Trump to open.
I have no idea if this could ever happen with the GOP having a stacked court. But giving the quickest explanation on the planet on how it could work and it made logical sense. I absoFUCKINGlutely love this out-of-the-box thinking on fixing the Supreme Court.
Well, someone probably derived the idea from looking at other countries. My country (Germany) doesn't have one highest court with ultimate appellate jurisdiction. We have 5 different appellate bodies plus our Federal Constitutional Court. Our highest courts have 129 (Federal Court of Justice), 38 (Federal Labour Court), 54 (Federal Administrative Court), 44 (Federal Social Court), 58 (Federal Fiscal Court) and 16 (professional) justices respectively.
This woman needs to run for some kind of public office. She can talk circles around most politicians, and would absolutely obliterate any of them in a debate.
That's a great answer to an almost unsolvable problem. Thank you for facts, hopefully someone in power will see this and agree and get the ball rolling!
Wow, this young woman is so articulate and smart. I wonder if she has considered running for office. This is what we need, fresh new young men and women who are passionate about our democracy and defending it against all threats both foreign and domestic!
I've been down with this idea for 6 months already. Not sure how difficult it would be to get there, but something has to be done. The current court has about as much credibility as FIFA and is about as popular as a colonoscopy.
What a refreshing, intelligent way to start the day. I say this every time I comment on her videos: Someone who knows someone on ANY Major news network PLEASE get these videos out there - SOOOO many people need to see and hear what she has to say. ALL her comments are lucid and well thought out. Keep it up! Information like this is so important and so appreciated!
Most pod casters present a topic, add some facts, listen to an authority on said topic, thank their guest, and close the program for that segment. Ha,ha... Did you notice I said "most?" That's right, most. Not this intelligent woman! She has a habit of giving potential solutions, remedies, and propositions. She thoroughly researches her topics and thinks the issues through, and when she can, provides a remedy, a solution, or she answers the question of whether a solution, etc. exists with some thoughtful insight and inquisitiveness. You will be a more informed individual by listening to Politics Girl!
And, sadly, without consequences, mention of recusal, or any other admittance of the appearance of possible cross contamination. Sickening. Feels hopeless. Those appointed "justices" need to have some over sight by someone apparently.
@@ladydeerheart1 Calling Democrats "Democrat leaders" is something the GOP does to put down Democrats, so yeah, Bill McMillan needs to know it's Democratic leaders.
@@ladydeerheart1 Use of the noun "Democrat" in place of the adjective "Democratic" isn't just a grammatical error, it's a deliberate slur by many on the right. Though it dates back at least to the 1940s, over the past 25 yrs it's become standard practice in conservative media and even by Republican deplorables in office. If this misuse--even if accidental and benign--isn't corrected, it can perpetuate and even become acceptable. It *must* be redressed. Besides, if this were polite dinner conversation you'd have a point. But it's the YT comments section--lighten up.
That means Biden would have 18 appointments, plus the one he has already appointed. No way is that passing Congress. And it wouldn't help the integrity of the SCOTUS.
For sure I do not know in what state she lives but, she should run for senator or congress; she knows the law!!!!! I hope she might live in Florida we need people like her !!! Vote Blue 2022!!!!!
Oh lord how I love an intelligent, strong, articulate woman who can lay out her argument in a straightforward, understandable manner. Leigh is a true national treasure and we need many, many more like her to fight the onslaught of these regressive fascists who are so set on destroying our republic from within
This woman is a genius. Sometimes the only clarity is seen from the outside. This Canadian woman has the insight, and the 'farsight' to cut through all the emotionally laden BS that has invaded USA politics and offer up simple truths to help heal our bleeding system. I hope people are listening...
GOOD GRAVY that's a great idea! I love the idea of 3 random courts of 9 from a pool of 27! I also love the idea of restricting justices from public speeches and political gatherings. You want to be a justice? You have to give up politics. And that goes for your immediate family as well! Employees and families of companies operating sweepstakes are disqualified from participating or winning! Same concept.
27, definitely "out of the box" thinking. The randomness of picking 9 out of 27 will smooth out the bias, but what if the pool of 27 gets skewed like the current 9? 😧😧
Maybe a hybrid approach - expand to 13 with 9 of them randomly selected to hear each case. That would accomplish most if not all of the things she described.
My plan for the court is there should ALWAYS be a balanced amount of justices on each side ....... say 5 left and 5 right ....... then who ever the current sitting president is could appoint a tie breaking judge for the length of his term so the side who elected the president would have 6 and the other would have it's 5. That would be fair. HOWEVER who's to say the conservative right SHOULD get an equal half of the court when they can't even win a popular election? .... And with that it shows how WRONG things are right now that the court is so unrepresentative of the majority of Americans
I like that idea! And with the Senate now in a 51-49 Democratic majority, I think the odds of appointing 18 more justices to the Supreme Court, and setting up the random rules you propose to govern it ever after, are certainly looking better. 27 justices, randomly picking their cases, not able to manipulate the third branch of government to please their masters in the Federalist Society. Man, good idea!
Love this idea myself but just the Senate won't be able to do it alone. It will have to pass the house as well and that has been controlled by MAGA since November 22. In fact I believe everything has to initiate in the house. She is so very right. But MAGA having control of the house is going to put a hard stop on anything, looks like including the debt limit.
I have had a similar idea for the SCOTUS, but my number was 23 sitting judges, with an odd number (7,9,11, ) who are picked AT RANDOM for each case with each case getting a different mix of judges !
If you were to run for national office, I would vote for you. However, I fear that national office might, of necessity, blunt some of your fire. and you are extremely effective running this channel and your podcasts. Thank you for being here for us!
@@user-qx9wv3xf6u no I don't. But it's the best idea for a solution that I've heard. There's a lot of mechanism for a level of neutrality. If you think about the SC should not lean one way or the other.
That is the BEST idea I've heard. As long as Each term requires a redistribution.. My thinking was similar but was 18. 27 makes the random sitting for each term even less fixable.
Large scale protests to make the BLM protests look like a warm up. The dems won't even attempt it otherwise. They need the biggest bonfire under their assess that the world has ever seen.
also, it doesn't help having two alleged sexual predators on scotus making decisions that affect women's lives. be a good idea to just dump these guys.
Leigh, we need someone like you in our political system. Our country is almost ready to fall off the edge. You and the new Democracy PAC are the kind of folks that need to come forward to help save our nation.
Not at all. GOP would do exact same thing. Dems handed them this court out fault. We have a long game to fight now. These fantasies are not helping. RBG,Hillary handed them this court on a plater. But we pretend instead of evaluate and evolve..
Better to have a viable 3rd (and maybe 4th) party. Congress will have to build coalitions for appointments then. Sadly, the democrats have talked about removing the filibuster and stacking the court so much, the GOP is going to go ahead and do it and just say that they had to or the Dems would have anyway.
this is a fantastic idea. I know it will be a fight but a fight worth waging. This is the hill I'll die on and help in any way I can to make this a reality
I just fell in love with you... what a great idea! The question now becomes...will it be lost in the sheer tonnage of words available to all and make us feel better for a moment...or be better from this moment on.
PoliticsGirl if you ran for President, I would vote for you. This has to be fixed and your idea makes common sense. You have the wisdom of Solomon and some in the Biden administration needs to be listening to you!
I like the idea, but if reshitlicans continue putting forth candidates who are rated as "Unqualified" by the American Bar Association we are going to continue have alot of trouble.

Couldn't have said it better myself,ty
No it can not. Why would the GOP sit there and take it. They would play the same game. The court would look like congress.
This woman needs to run for some kind of public office. She can talk circles around most politicians, and would absolutely obliterate any of them in a debate.
I love her
EXACTLY who we NEED!
there is little break in her speech but overall it is good, i agree she should be supreme court judge #27
She is a treasure!
It won't matter because no one is listening to reason in the United States.
That's a great answer to an almost unsolvable problem. Thank you for facts, hopefully someone in power will see this and agree and get the ball rolling!
Biden already said he won't expand the court.
@@ladydeerheart1 What he said was that he wouldn't expand the court "right now". Depending on how the midterms come out he may decide it's time.
@@ladydeerheart1 because he can not. He does not have the votes and it would cause the GOP to do the same even if he did.
Wow, this young woman is so articulate and smart. I wonder if she has considered running for office. This is what we need, fresh new young men and women who are passionate about our democracy and defending it against all threats both foreign and domestic!
Voted straight Democratic today! Let's GO BLUE!
Done
Me too!
I've been down with this idea for 6 months already. Not sure how difficult it would be to get there, but something has to be done. The current court has about as much credibility as FIFA and is about as popular as a colonoscopy.
You're giving the current scotus far too much credit. It has all the credibility of the stuff I scoop out of my cat's litterbox every night.
Fifa is so much better than our SubPrim3 Court. Hell, I have 100x more faith in Sepp Blatter than I do in Thomas and the last 3 federalist stooges.
At least with a colonoscopy you get an induced nap. We have to watch this court invade bodies we would rather not be invaded while fully awake...
In Australia, the Supreme Court Judges can only do 10 years and they are chosen by the Law Society, not politicians.
What a refreshing, intelligent way to start the day.

Such a high number would cut into the bribe income of politicians.
Someone needs to listen to this woman she is very smart .
Some of those justices have been known to rule on cases they, or their families, have a financial interest in.
And, sadly, without consequences, mention of recusal, or any other admittance of the appearance of possible cross contamination. Sickening. Feels hopeless. Those appointed "justices" need to have some over sight by someone apparently.
Absolutely!!! I don't think anyone should argue with your logic. You nailed it down to a T, hope this gets the attention it deserves...
I wish our Democrat leaders had ideas this good and could deliver them this articulately!!!
There are some but they're drowned out by mass ignorance.
"Democratic"

Pls refrain from commenting. It just reinforces how unintelligent you are.
Great idea about the SCOTUS; it needs major, systemic reform to counteract partisan packing.
Your commentary should be on everywhere. It's very good.
That was awesome! Love to hear what you have to say!
Leigh, talk to the MT. You need to be in an ad on tv. Seriously, you could be the one that turns this country to the Dems. To sanity.
Time to have term limits on everyone!!
It would take a constitutional amendment.
It would take an all out civil war to accomplish something this straight forward and sensible.
27. This is the best argument for "blind" justice in the supreme court I have heard so far. 3 courts of 9 justices each is a brilliant idea!
I've been calling for #15Justices for a couple of years now, but Leigh makes a good case for #27Justices.
Leigh, you a bright star for democracy!
Keep up this necessary work!
RBG is turning in her grave! The Court should have a code of ethics and punishment for falsehoods!
She caused some of this because she refused to retire early enough to let a reasonable pick replace her, instead of a far right plant.
For sure I do not know in what state she lives but, she should run for senator or congress; she knows the law!!!!! I hope she might live in Florida we need people like her !!! Vote Blue 2022!!!!!
Huh. That would work. Well done. 9 people until death making up a Whole one of our three branches has always seemed like quite a weakness to me.
Oh lord how I love an intelligent, strong, articulate woman who can lay out her argument in a straightforward, understandable manner.

Awesome..that picking names and cases out of a paper bag "would be BLIND"... Great idea. I'm definitely passing that one on.
Oh wow! Thank you for this video. That's something I hadn't even considered- matching the justices to the appellate courts. Good thinking.
DNA is blind an so should be the Justices deciding the future of our country. I'll sign to expand those seat!
That is a freaking brilliant idea!
A 27 Justice Court is an interesting idea. But expanding the Court to 13 is definite. I've been calling for that for a long time.
