Assistant Professor of Government James Sieja recently penned an op-ed about ongoing political battles involving the Supreme Court that was featured in The Post-Standard (Syracuse, N.Y.) on Sunday, Nov. 1. In the piece “Cruz proposal for the Supreme Court is woefully inadequate”, Sieja writes that when it comes to the proposed constitutional amendment that would freeze the number of Supreme Court justices at nine, “There is a better way to amend the Constitution to achieve that goal without the overly restrictive means of the Cruz amendment.” Sieja studies the federal court system, specifically the selection, nomination, and confirmation process for lower court judges.
