It's notes from America. I'm Ky-right. This is our new pop-up politics edition every Thursday until election day. I am basically hitting up my friends and colleagues who I think are super smart on a particular

question that's coming up in the campaign and picking their brains.

And this week I'm on the call with Ellie Mistahl.

He is of course the Nation magazine's Justice Correspondent and the world's most passionate evangelist for throwing the Supreme Court as we understand it into the despot of history and starting over, hey Ali.

Hi, Kai, how are you doing? I'm you doing? This is like my week. This is your week in history. Well, I mean, there's a lot of weeks that are your week, but this is truly your week. So speaking of which, let's just get right into it.

So I want to talk to you about Kamala Harris,

but obviously we start with Joe Biden's court reform plan.

Kamala Harris has embraced it as her own as well.

It includes term limits, enforceable code of ethics,

and a constitutional amendment

to reestablish the idea that presidents can actually break the law.

Can just from the top line, how does this plan, setting aside all the like politics of can it be done

and all of that just like on the ideas themselves

How does this plan compare to what you have been screaming about for the past several years?

How do you rate it? Oh, Kyle, I don't want to start there because that would have to make me start

negative. I don't want to start by saying that this plan is moderate weak sauce compared to the real goal of court reform because while it is that

would idle over the important part here the significant part here which is that Biden has been the greatest enemy to court reform that we've had to

overcome in the Democratic Party for quite some time. you go back to 20 to 20 right so

the 2020 primary when like 1800 Democrats the coffee man his honor

mayor where everybody was running for president, right?

Joe Biden was the most against court reform, right?

He was, he was.
