Slate's Supreme Court expert Mark Joseph Stern explains the troubling conclusions in a draft report issued by Pres. Biden's blue ribbon commission examining ways to reform the Republican's packed and stolen U.S. Supreme Court - including court expansion and judicial term limits - noting that the US is the only country in the world to give its high court so much power and lifetime appointments.

Congressional historian NORM ORNSTEIN explains the stakes for the nation at this critical juncture, and offers several avenues by which Democrats can prevent the GOP from killing the economy, implement crucial social safety net programs, and pass Pres.

| CA Recall - election integrity; Supreme Court 'shadow docket'
|
| Supreme Court expert Mark Joseph Stern explains three major, disturbing, unsigned rulings by the increasingly authoritarian rightwing majority on the U.S. Supreme Court using their 'shadow docket' to bypass established jurisprudence and overturn longstanding precedents without judicial review or public hearings - including effectively banning the constitutional right to abortion access in Texas. Stern also explains solutions that could rein in the out-of-control court and its use of the shadow docket. Also today: the nation's top cybersecurity and voting systems experts call on the CA Sec. of State to immediately mandate a statewide post-election Risk Limiting Audit for the California Gubernatorial Recall election, due to the threat of stolen voting system software undermining the integrity of the tally and voter confidence in the results.
