The (very large) SCOTUS reform commission is meeting right now for the very first time. They're all unmuted and taking their oath and it's quite the chorus.

Now they're recording voice votes on accepting the bylaws. Everybody is saying yes so far, except for @WilliamBaude, who said "aye".
A couple of absences today: @Sifill_LDF and @tribelaw and a few others. Their plan: six meetings over the next six months, including two with testimony from members of the public.
Commission is charged not with making recommendations but with critically analyzing proposals including the most-discussed idea of Supreme Court expansion.
A short bit from @WilliamBaude apparently dictated by Yoda whispering into his right ear. 
Among the reforms they'll consider other than court-expansion: the shadow docket, certiorari grant procedures, scope of judicial review.
And....they're done. Meeting adjourned.
And....they're done. Meeting adjourned.
As pilots go, not sure that one gets picked up for a full season.
