Steve Vladeck warns of risks regarding Supreme Court expansion

Georgetown Law professor Steve Vladeck has raised concerns regarding the potential consequences of expanding the Supreme Court. While Vladeck is a critic of the current conservative majority, he argues that court expansion may be a detrimental response to the Court's perceived flaws.

Vladeck suggests that proponents of expansion must address several critical risks, including the possibility of a political ‘race to the bottom’ where successive administrations expand the Court to secure ideological majorities. He warns that such actions could lead to a fatal erosion of public confidence in the judiciary and potentially undermine judicial review as an institution.
