We explore some solutions for judicial reform, such as mandatory appeals of any lower court ruling on political issues.

But to focus only on this particular Supreme Court term is to miss the bigger picture: In the past few decades, conservative court majorities have dragged this country’s laws to the right on almost every issue imaginable.
