Find me over at the good place - same handle. VP Comms @BrennanCenter. Fmr @HIASrefugees, @ACLU, @BernieSanders ’16. @TheMagFields strings, mom. Views my own.

@thorpej @JetBlue Thanks, Jason. I'm with you on giving up: very unlikely to fly with JetBlue again after this experience. (I just got a call back - 8 hours later! - and they immediately disconnected my call. So now I have the pleasure of waiting at the very end of the call queue again.)

[Pinky Weitzman @PinkyWeitzman]

I’ve been waiting to speak to a @JetBlue live agent in the phone and chat queues since 2am ET after my flight was cancelled. I was rebooked on a flight *four days* later, and need assistance rebooking on a reasonable alternative departing tomorrow on JetBlue or another airline.

For all the parents juggling making Halloween memories and trying to save democracy at the same time, I see you.

Yet another - truly galling - case in point for Supreme Court term limits.

[Alicia Bannon @alicia_bannon]

It’s hard to not get numb to SCOTUS ethics scandals, but this one is really jaw dropping. Judicial ethics 101 is to avoid even an appearance of bias…but w/ a toothless code of conduct there will be no ethics investigation or consequences. https://t.co/swfP8HP1AR

A little personal news, as they say. I'm honored to announce I'll be working with @BrennanCenter on democracy issues in addition to teaching at @UALawSchool

New Brennan Center report: By 2022, the effect of SCOTUS’s Shelby County decision cost **hundreds of thousands of votes from people of color** in federal elections in the counties formerly covered by pre-clearance. This is a really big deal. https://t.co/pICdDq3yey

Justices spending decades on the nation's highest court with virtually no accountability is not a recipe for a healthy democracy. No one should have that much public power for life.

[Brennan Center @BrennanCenter]

It’s time for Supreme Court term limits. Staggered 18-year terms would ensure that the Court stays in touch with American society and that no justice has too much power for too long.

Essential reading from @alicia_bannon and @mmilovcordoba.

[Brennan Center @BrennanCenter]

It’s time for Supreme Court term limits. A staggered 18-year limit would bring regular turnover to the bench. The result would be a Court that better reflects public values. Here’s our proposal on how this would work:

How many controversies over Supreme Court justices’ ethical choices will we see before the Court recognizes its legitimacy is in grave peril? They must adopt a binding code of ethics. https://t.co/UuOSQC6szW

[Alicia Bannon @alicia_bannon]

A reminder that the Supreme Court is the only court in the country without a binding code of conduct. CJ Roberts says that we can trust the Court to self regulate. It's increasingly clear that's not true. https://t.co/wUcqt34Y5r
