Remember “18 reasons for 18 years?”  Well, so did the Biden Commission, and as they reject court packing, they flirt with the 18 year plan.  A few voices are raising in the media and even some on the commission, so we review their arguments and analyze their possible merits.  A big question - can it be implemented by statute, or is a constitutional amendment required?  No surprise that Akhil has a clear opinion on this.  If this happens, you heard it here first - or rather, you read it first back in 2002 when Akhil and his co-author came up with it.
