And what does everyone think this “bi partisan” commission will recommend?
I would be shocked if they recommended no changes to the federal judiciary.
This commission is going to give “political cover” to Biden and Democrats, when they push to expand the Supreme Court. They will say, “hey, we’re just following the expert recommendations of the non-partisan commission. This isn’t a Democrat partisan push”.
This could tie in with ongoing struggles over the filibuster rule in the Senate. I know the filibuster of Supreme Court nominees was abolished, but any legislation to pack the Supreme Court would still be subject to the filibuster, assuming the filibuster still exists when Congress takes up this matter.
The only change to the Federal Judiciary that’s needed is to isolate the 9th Circuit. Allow it jurisdiction over Alta California but no other States.
California supposedly has the 9th to 6th biggest economy in the world. Let them have their own court system.
Then we need to start extracting resources out of Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho etc.
