Biden commission’s draft materials on Supreme Court reform show split over adding justices
A growing chorus of critics — especially those furious with the tactics used by Republicans to appoint the three most recent justices — have called to expand the size of the bench. Proponents include former presidential candidates and Cabinet members.
Some of the commissioners agree with the pro-expansion arguments, “at least in part,” the draft materials said. But other commissioners concluded that adding seats “is likely to undermine, rather than enhance, the Supreme Court’s legitimacy and its role in the constitutional system,” the commission wrote.
“There are significant reasons to be skeptical that expansion would serve democratic values,” the commission added. “We also raise some tentative concerns about how expansion of the Supreme Court might be received in the broader domestic and international community.”
President Joe Biden created the commission via executive order in April, assembling a bipartisan panel of scholars, lawyers, advocates and former judges to probe arguments for and against reforming the high court.

Jessie Kelly is talking about how he is in trouble. His speeches aren’t want you would expect form someone who is winning.
He has a point. Droning on over and over with the same scripted Covid speeches.
A big hell no...they are spineless!!!
The Constitution was irrelevant long before president 0.
Packed and term limits so every President gets to pick a new court ,LOL
It seems to me that packing the court is in direct violation of separation of powers. Each Congress will make the Supreme Court a junior partner, a subsidiary to ram through its agenda.
If you can keep it.
Well, we did. For a while.
DUH
“Supreme Court should rule it’s unconstitutional ,LOL”
And they can on sound constitutional grounds, citing the necessary and proper clause.

The Dims are furious, furious I tell you, that the Republicans did to the Dims what the Dims did to the Republicans.
Going down this path, there could eventually be 100 members of the Supreme Court. It would be a second Senate effectively appointed by the 1st Senate. However, long before it got to that absurd level, the country would collapse in chaos, if it’s not already on its way.
If they pack it enough, there won’t be any GOP POTUSes in our future,
+1
...but of course.
He’s really asking for a Revolution between this, the mandate, the supply problem, etc.
Sure. Why wouldn’t he? Is somene going to tell his handlers ‘no’?
Joekr: “Aww...! C’mon, man! Rebel! Revolt! I dare ya! I double-dog Corn Pop dare ya! Jeez...!! What needling inconveniences do I have to mandate to make y’all rise up???”
Like we've "ethnically cleansed" already.
No and the CAVEmen will handle it like the caving on the debt limit increase.
These assholes are so predictable and there are actually people still out there that swear we can fix DC at next election cycle.
