Steve Vladek is a professor at Georgetown University Law Center.  He’s been thinking and writing about the Supreme Court for over 20 years, both as a law professor and as a Supreme Court analyst for CNN.

In this episode, Dylan Ris and Steve discuss Supreme Court reform.  Steve starts with an historical overview of Congressional oversight of the court, how that’s changed in relatively recent times, and how Steve thinks Congress should re-assert its proper Constitutional role over the court. He also addresses court packing and term limits.
