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.

Supreme Court should rule it’s unconstitutional ,LOL
Will the gutless turds of the GOP even mount meaningful opposition to this?
Communists gotta communist-icate.
Do it, bitches!
Then we can commence with National Divorce, because . . .
You Don’t Speak For Me.

This reprehensible power grab attempt is to intimidate the current justices in the abortion case.
Biden: Do it the dem mafia way or it ain’t gonna be healthy for youse guys. Get my drift?
We can’t let the Dems do this in the last months before much more pointed contentiousness arrives in the US.
The packed court will quickly okay national police control, gun grabbing, closing churches, suppression of free speech and much more. Our “that is unconstitutional” will be a quaint old fashioned joke that is no longer relevant.
Note the wording.
We are not the American people, but the “domestic community”
How sanitizing …
SURprise, Surprise.
The Constitution has not been relevant since ALL of our elected AND appointed abrogated it by swearing in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia on Usurpation Day.
Forfeit part, lose all.
Bidet’s poll numbers are already in the 30’s. Is he trying for the 20’s?
Fing scumbags. But this might just make Biden less popular. If that’s possible.
The GOP will battle every inch, fight tooth and nail, to the very gates of Hell itse—
“Can we just get this over with? I have a golf game to get to”
The Republican Establishment wants an Anti-Constitution Supreme Court just as much as the Resident Biden does.
If he can pack the court for the next 20 years, and squash the filibuster, who cares what the voters think? This guy is dangerous.
Swearing in dementia-addled Resident Biden demonstrated that the Constitution is in exile.
They have limited time to inflict as much change and mandates as possible.
At least we now sure of one definite tipping point for a hot CW-II.
Liberals are the enemy.
And will be treated as such.
Bring it.
It won't matter what the polls say with a majority Left court. They will rule every piece of legislation passed by any Republican-controlled body as unconstitutional. It won't matter what laws the states have, a Leftist court will rule that the federal government takes precedence over states.
The leftards think this is a good idea. Until the next Republican decides to pack it even more. As I said when Trump was president, he should have agreed that adding new Supreme Court justices was a great idea and nominate 30 more judges.
