DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS Intend To Unveil a Bill to Expand The Number of Supreme Court Justices on Thursday, according to three legislative sources familiar with the bill.
The bill would increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court from nine to thirteen.
Republicans currently hold 6 seats, while Democrats hold just 3 after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
The bill is sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, Subcommittee chair Hank Johnson, and freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones.
In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.

Unprosecuted fraud has consequences.
Justices Clinton, Obama, Garland, and Gore approve.
At the rate they are losing House members, they are afraid for their majority.
Then Democrat (Socialist Revolutionary) Party is taking a very active role in destroying the republic. They have responded to leftist activistic capture of the media and academia with a program to permanently steal elections, subvert voting, castrate the Senate and now they want to have a permanent majority on the SC. Notice that they never suggested 4 more justices were needed when Trump or even Bush was President.
These people are scum.
It’s the difference between a party comprised of moderates (Republicans) and a party comprised of hard line leftists (Democrats). Maybe our side should stop voting for moderates.
More cheating ...it never ends with them. They won’t be happy until China tells us we have to speak Chinese and all Christians are in jail waiting for organ harvesting.
And Biden/Harris to appoint all four?
That’s going to make it very hard to care what happens to this country anymore.
But I guess that suits the Democrat Party just fine.
The Supreme Court did this by throwing out the Texas Lawsuit.
The day this bill passes is the day the shooting needs to start.
This is the crap you pull when you no longer have any real fear of losing the next election. That’s what this is all about. They know they’ve perfected the Big Steal. The only impediment left to instituting their agenda is a 6-3 Court. So, they’re getting rid of it.
The greatest experiment in liberty the last 240-years is coming to a close. See ya in the camps, fellas.
"Precedent" or stare decisis underpins a great deal of the legal system. But what if we were to argue that a change in the number of justices would nullify SCOTUS precedent?
Justice Rehnquist explained that stare decisis is not an “inexorable command.” On occasion, the Court will decide not to apply the doctrine if a prior decision is deemed unworkable. In addition, significant societal changes may also prompt the Court to overrule precedent; however, any decision to overrule precedent is exercised cautiously.
I think a few, well-placed law review articles and public comments on the airways that say, basically, if ANYONE packs the court it effectively changes the opinion building process such that prior opinions are nullified.
So sure, Bidet gets a few noobs, but the tide goes in and out...And since a great deal of stupidity in govt rests on dumb leftist legal opinions (Obamacare, Kelo), not to mention the expansion of Leviathan on the basis of the Commerce Clause, with the addition of one justice, it is ALL turned to dust.
Get Col Schlichter to float the idea...maybe a few folks from Legal Insurrection to post about it...watch it gather a head of steam...
Sure, liberal hawcks will say "no" but all you need is for the idea to germinate, and for conservatives to suddenly EMBRACE court-packing because it will allow them to dump liberal activist law when they get in charge ...
...and then they'll turn away from the idea.
This is the Venezuela model with a political Supreme Court approving every action by Dictator Maduro. This would be the end of any pretense of an independent judiciary.
(2) Doesn't matter if there's 100 SCOTUS justices. We all know why they're doing this: To void the 2nd Amendment. Again, this just shows their desperation because they can't pass gun control through Congress & Biden's EOs are toothless.
Our rights and freedoms are bestowed upon us by our Creator, not by black robes.
Hank Johnson...wasn’t he the one that said some island would tip over if?
Idiotic assumption. Once the left seizes all the levers of power, they will NEVER let them go!
Not a problem, otherwise I’d vote for RINOs (such as in Georgia) to prevent it. But I’m more interested in ‘teaching the GOP a lesson’, instead.
A Communist Purge Is Underway & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
And if this goes through, it will be 7-6 their side majority.
But this is what John Roberts and his three new stooges wanted.
