Kamala Harris Is a ‘Supreme Court Realist.’ So Will She Reform It?

Kamala Harris Is a ‘Supreme Court Realist.’ So Will She Reform It?

President Joe Biden says he has a plan to reform the Supreme Court — one that will keep presidential power in check. Political commentator Elie Mystal says it’s about time. Mystal is the justice correspondent for The Nation magazine and someone who has been advocating (at the top of his lungs) for SCOTUS reform for years.

In this episode of “On the Call,” our political pop-up series, host Kai Wright talks with Mystal about what Biden is proposing, why the judicial reform push is coming now that the president has decided not to seek re-election, and how Vice President Kamala Harris is positioned to pick up the baton and make change a part of her political legacy.

Perhaps you’ve noticed: the news is newsing in overdrive lately. Notes from America is meeting the moment with an extra podcast drop on Thursdays like this one. It's a pop-up series of conversations about politics, voters and democracy right now that we're calling On the Call.
