{"title":"Reform Through Resignation: Why Chief Justice Roberts Should Resign (in 2023)","authors":"Scott Bloomberg","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.3768595","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.3768595","url":null,"abstract":"On September 29, 2023, Chief Justice Roberts will have served exactly eighteen years on the Supreme Court. He should mark this occasion by doing something extraordinary: resigning. By doing so, the Chief Justice could create a new norm whereby Supreme Court Justices agree to serve staggered eighteen-year terms on the Court. The resulting de facto term limit would rectify the structural problems caused by life tenure and would strengthen an institution facing an unprecedented legitimacy crisis in the wake of three exceptionally controversial Supreme Court appointments by President Trump. \u0000 \u0000This paper contains three parts. In Part I, I provide an overview of the institutional problems associated with life tenure, including the randomness of Supreme Court vacancies, the increased length of time the Justices spend on the bench, and the politicization of the Court. Part II introduces the system of eighteen-year staggered term-limits that is supported by a wide range of scholars and other Court observers. I then respond to several criticisms of this term-limit reform, ultimately agreeing with the critique that implementing term limits via constitutional amendment is highly unlikely and implementing them via statute is likely unconstitutional. This conclusion leads me, in Part III, to argue that the most plausible way to establish Supreme Court term limits is through changed norms. Much as George Washington’s decision to not seek a third term as President led to a de facto Presidential term limit, I contend that Chief Justice Roberts is uniquely positioned to establish a new norm of serving eighteen-year terms on the Court. I then detail how Chief Justice Roberts’ well-timed resignation could lead to this de facto term limit system.","PeriodicalId":125390,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Public Understanding/Political Process (Topic)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115031604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polarization in the United States over the last few decades matters to the American judicial system in at least four ways. First, polarization affects judicial selection, whether the selection method is (sometimes partisan-based) elections or appointment by political actors. In times of greater polarization, governors and presidents who nominate judges, legislators who confirm judges, and voters who vote on judicial candidates are more apt to support or oppose judges on the basis of partisan affiliation or cues. Second, driven in part by selection mechanisms, polarization may be reflected in the decisions that judges make, especially on issues that divide people politically, such as abortion, guns, or affirmative action. The Supreme Court, for example, often divides along party and ideological lines in the most prominent and highly contested cases. Those ideological lines now overlap with party as we enter a period in which all the Court liberals have been appointed by Democratic presidents and all the Court conservatives have been appointed by Republican presidents. Third, increasingly polarized judicial decisions appear to be causing the public to view judges and judicial decision making (at least on the US Supreme Court) through a more partisan lens. Fourth, polarization may affect the separation of powers, by empowering courts against polarized legislative bodies sometimes paralyzed by gridlock. The review concludes by considering how increased polarization may interact with the judiciary and judicial branch going forward and by suggesting areas for future research.","PeriodicalId":125390,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Public Understanding/Political Process (Topic)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116867569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
