President Biden is moving forward with setting up a commission to study Supreme Court reforms which could, according to the Daily Mail, lead the way to ‘court-packing.’
Biden repeatedly refused to state his position on court-packing during his campaign but did vow to set up a commission to study judiciary reforms.
“The President remains committed to an expert study of the role and debate over reform of the court and will have more to say in the coming weeks,” a White House official told Fox News.
Politico reports that Biden has already begun naming people to the commission.
They note that two individuals have been chosen to co-chair the commission – Bob Bauer, who was Biden campaign’s lawyer, and Caroline Fredrickson, who “has hinted that she is intellectually supportive of ideas like court expansion.”
“The commission,” Fox News relays, “was Biden’s response to progressive demands to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court to overcome the 6-3 conservative majority, a practice known as ‘court-packing.'”

At this point I don’t give a damn. It don’t matter ...we don’t have a constitutional system anymore everything that you once thought was fair and judges had integrity has long gone. When the highest court of this land didn’t give a damn to honor their ruling with Pennsylvania and backstabbed the integrity of the election system by stating “no standing“ then you can surmise our justice system is also without standing ...no integrity no honor no justice. When Biden packing the Supreme Court comes to fruition and I hear Roberts, amy etc whining and crying I’m gonna be laughing!!
Kind of like McCain in 2008.....
“Naming” people to the commission? He can’t name his ass from a hole in the ground.
Bump to the 1of ping list. Clickbaters should be donating a bunch to FR in thanks for the free bandwidth.
Well. Trumps three nominees. We’re pretty worthless
“If the Democrats were to add 2 or 3 justices to the court, what would stop the Republican from adding 100 next time they’re in power, then declaring membership in the Democratic party illegal?”
That’s if the Republicans can even get back in power anywhere in the near future; there is no guarantee that will happen.
Right after they Republican’s add 100 justices then, then they can turn their sights on Obamacare.
Just have to send out a few dozen rounds of fundraising emails and wait until after the NEXT election when they will have a stronger majority…..just please, please send more money
This government is so unstable and insane.
