After Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump, Brian Fallon needed a job. Fallon had served as Clinton’s national press secretary during the campaign, and before that he had done the same job for my colleague Chuck Schumer in the Senate. For a while, his reputation around Washington, DC, was stellar. He was, according to a lengthy profile in the Daily Beast, “one of the most sought-after operatives in Democratic politics: a brass-knuckle brawler with experience at the highest levels of government, a cellphone filled with the top journalists in town, and a reputation for being preternaturally on message.”
But something changed in Fallon after Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump. He became less interested in traditional politics, giving up a role as a commentator on CNN, and more interested in ways of putting pressure on Democrats to take radical action.
By 2018, two years into President Trump’s first term, Fallon and his friends in Democratic politics had seen some of their party’s core ideas repudiated time and time again at the ballot box. They had lost the game of electoral politics. So, they figured, they would change the rules of the game to give themselves a better chance of winning.
In 2018, urged by liberal political consultants such as John Podesta, Fallon started Demand Justice, a group whose mission, at least on its face, was to stop President Trump from making more judicial appointments. After two years in the White House, President Trump had already nominated a record number of judges to the federal bench, and he wasn’t slowing down.
But soon, other, more radical ideas began taking over — one in particular.

The Commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals.

Bob Bauer is Co-Chair of the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States as of APRIL 09, 2021.
This has been the plan all along.
The Anti-Trumper opines
FU, Lee
More fundamental transformation!
So the raggedy ass Brandon Branch of our so called government is now planning on undermining the Judicial Branch. Talk about an insurrection. This is the second ‘RAT insurrection and Eric the Holder’s boyz aren’t touching them because they can’t prove President Trump was involved with either of them. Let’s Go Brandon! FJB!
The Democrats barely have control of both the House and Senate. I can’t see them being able to pass anything so controversial in this Congress.
They can pack fudge starting in January. Even Turtle won’t allow a packed court.
Although outing these creeps as the bogeymen they are is important. Build a wall around DC and make it impossible for these pigs to leave without being mercilessly hounded.
They can all fight for control of DC while the rest of the world ignores them.
They will use executive orders…the DOJ and FBI are already corrupted.. Venezuela by 2024…China will rule by then…GOP is useless…
Our republican form of government, elections, and our constitution have no authority, they offer no remedy. Their purpose is to launder the corruption of demonic tyrants.
You think the Chief Justice cares?
The “conservative” Chief Justice?
The democrats want a branch that interprets the law according to the democrat party platform.
All this nonsense will stop if Republicans take the House and Senate in November. Then the impeachment hearings of Biden and Harris can start in January.
Good piece…we’ve seen a lot of ideas of what was formerly the radical left go mainstream Dem in recent years. Court packing is certainly one of them, and the absolute hatred of the justices that the Dems are showing leads me to think that, one way or another, they’ll achieve it.
That will only be a good start. A thorough cleaning out of the leftist apparatchiks from government is necessary to preserve our republic.
Rd later.
democrats love false flag events.
Which is why they will push it through in the lame duck session. They will have nothing to lose. Remember OBozo Care? It was passed the same way.
This evil evil Indian cheap labor snake should be jailed for
flooding the country with cheap White collar
labor for his Chamber of crony capitalist - Silicon valley owners .
A complete Enemy of the White middle class .
Bingo
Republicans are cowards. If given the opportunity, they will not initiate impeachment proceedings, yet alone convict and get enough votes to remove. Cowards!
And with the corrupted DOD, Traitorjoe's DeepState puppetmasters can also use martial law.
Well, not until medical science perfects testicular and spinal transplants for Republicans politicians.
