SCOTUS - Commission took no position on the more critical issue of expansion of justices or term limits. However, it backed continued audio livestreaming of oral arguments, an advisory code of conduct for the justices and more transparency for the "shadow docket." Can this be considered productive?

President Joe Biden created the bipartisan commission in April to study proposals to reform the Supreme Court. Its membership consisted largely of law professors. The report stated there was β€œprofound disagreement” among commissioners over adding justices to the Supreme Court.

Supporters of the idea that wanted reform β€œcontended that court expansion is necessary to address serious violations of norms governing the confirmation process and troubling developments in the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence that they see as undermining the democratic system.”

β€œOpponents contended that expandingβ€”or β€˜packing’—the court would significantly diminish its independence and legitimacy and establish a dangerous precedent that could be used by any future political force as a means of pressuring or intimidating the court.”

President of the American Bar Association said he applauds the work of the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States. The comprehensive report it has issued presents important context on the complex and critical issues surrounding the structure of the Court.

The Commission was tasked by President Joe Biden to provide an account of the current debate over the β€œrole and operation of the Supreme Court in our constitutional system,” and to analyze arguments for and against Supreme Court reform...An independent judiciary is necessary to ensure respect for the rule of law and confidence in our courts. The ABA remains committed to upholding the Constitution, the judicial process and equal justice under the law.

Could the Commission have done more or taken a stronger position with respect to term limits and or expansion and was that even possible given the Constitution?

LPT: Most towns struggle to fill advisory boards and commissions. If you want to add to your resume and/or are frustrated with politics and want to be part of a solution, consider volunteering for town boards and commissions.

This might be USA only advice, I am not sure what to do in other countries. It also might be more difficult in a major city. The process was very simple and has presented me with a lot of networking opportunities.
