Term limits, adding justices, and other plausible ways the Supreme Court could change

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

For the third time in the Trump presidency, a U.S. Supreme Court Justice is being replaced. If you're on the outside looking in, the whole process can look pretty ugly and vicious. It's a lot of political fights, and long hearings that seem like they all have foregone conclusions. So was it always like this? Or is the process especially contentious today, just like everything else in our politics? Kermit Roosevelt, legal scholar and law professor at the University of Pennsylvania joins KYW In Depth to break down the history of the Supreme Court and talk about its future, including some not so far-fetched ways that the court could change in our lifetimes.
