Hofstra Law Professor Eric Freedman was quoted in the Newsday article “Biden wants U.S. Supreme Court reforms. Here’s what scholars say about it.”
Excerpt
Eric M. Freedman, a professor at Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University with expertise in constitutional law and history, said the reputation of the Supreme Court itself lags well behind some of the decisions it makes.
“That is why the Court has, until recently, been extremely prudent about drawing down on its accumulated capital of public credibility,” Freedman said. “The members have generally understood that an overall reputation for being law-driven that took a long time to create in the first place will take a long time to restore if lost. So whether the reputation of the Court would improve in the wake of any enactment of the proposals — which would not take full effect for many decades to come — is something that won’t be known until late in this century.”
