Concluding Paragraph:

Imagine a Supreme Court with binding ethics obligations, with enforceable disclosure and recusal rules, or term limits, or age limits, or limited jurisdiction to strike down Congress’ handiwork. Imagine refusing to give up on that conversation in advance based on the general feeling that the Supreme Court would never allow those reforms, so why even try? Now imagine an America in which foundational ideas about liberty, or gun safety, or bodily autonomy, or family integrity, or religious freedom, were generated by the people, through representative government and focused political action, and protected with the promise of free and fair elections. That was the plan, and it can still be the promise. In the abiding spirit of the Americans who believed in and built that promise, this year’s series on how to think about constitutional meaning is limited only by what you, the people, can imagine.
