The article discusses dueling approaches to judicial reform proposed by U.S. Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer. McConnell suggests a return to the previous norm of requiring a supermajority vote for all judicial nominees, thereby ending the possibility of invoking the “nuclear option”. On the other hand, Schumer advocates for expanding the number of seats on the Supreme Court and lower federal courts, which he argues will enhance the courts’ ability to administer justice. The article does not mention any existing or pending legislation related to these proposals.
