During the 2020 presidential campaign, there was talk about “packing the court” — a move to expand the U.S. Supreme Court and “pack” it with liberal justices. It turns out, the effort is more than just talk. The Democrats are looking for power, and packing the court with four additional leftwing justices is their way to do it. Will they succeed?
Democrat Sen. Ed Markey announced the court packing legislation with support from House Democrat Jerry Nadler. As for now, Joe Biden will wait for the results of a “court packing” commission before announcing any support.

“As for now, Joe Biden will wait for the results of a “court packing” commission before announcing any support”. We already know what the result of the “court packing” commission will be, with the communist Academics on the “commission. “Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe gets banned from Twitter”. Like James O’Keefe stated on Fox News last night, Big Tech sends big money, not only to Democrats, but also to Republicans, so the traitors in the House and Senate, will not repeal Section 230, with regard to the protections it affords Big Tech. Communist betrayers from both parties!!!! The American people censored and the traitors in Washington do not care!!!!
AND with the Sheer # of cowards in the GOP, along with RINOS< i fear greatly, that "YES" the dems will succeed in this power grab….
So, essentially what they’re saying is, these appointed judges don’t rule on the law as it is written/intended they rewrite/interrupt it according to their party agenda. Almost as if we really don’t need them since there’s no commitment to the actual law.
FOR decades, the left’s operated on a principle of the law is “WHAT THEY SAY IT IS, and judges should rule in that manner””.. NOT what the law is WRITTEN AND approved on by the legislatures…
FDR tried to pack the court in his time too…just after two of his New Deal policies were deemed unconstitutional. Thankfully, the people in the legislative branch had the sense to realize why FDR wanted to pack the court and what the ramifications would be. Hopefully, the members of Congress today will recognize that this is a bad idea and stop it from happening.
What the Dems need to remember is that once you start with something like this it will snowball. Today it will be them that packs the court. Down the road (we can but hope in 2022) the makeup of Congress will change and then the Supreme Court can be added to the opposite way. We’ll end up with a huge number of Justices and it will simply become another political arm rather than the branch that is supposed to rule on the constitutionality of laws and that’s that.
With the # of rinos, and cowards we have in the GOP though, i can’t really see them Stopping this…. And as to ‘winning back the house/senate in 2022’, i think its a Pipe dream that we will win any further eletion, with the leftists fraud being Codified into law…
It’s not a pipe dream, you just have to put forth better candidates. By that I mean no Trumps, or any of the clowns that have their lips attached to his butt. I’m hopeful there will be a reasonable repub candidate in every upcoming race, but they usually disappoint.
Sorry, trump’s been the best thing that happened to the republican party since reagan..
They’re also pushing Breyer to step down, he’s 82 and they are terrified they will lose both the houses in 2022, so even he might become another Ginsberg situation but it’ll be with Republicans standing in the way of confirmations. That’s why Nadler and his bunch are bypassing the whole “Commission” process, they feel they don’t have the time to wait on a “study and recommendation” and want to move ahead, replace Breyer with a young actiist, and change the unbalance to more activists than conservatives. It’ll make them more likely to stop any lawsuits against all the race-baiting and killing the filibuster, etc.
While I would hate to see them pack the court, are you really surprised after the way McConnell screwed them over? If you want people to play fair, you’ve got to play fair too.
PLAYING FAir?? When has the left, EVER PLAYED fair?
Good bye
If we can add four seats to the Supreme Court for Joe Biden why would the next president not want to do the same? The truth is any president could probably make some sort of case for why they should get to appoint people to the Supreme Court. The Democrats are opening a door that they will want to close in the future and be unable to close. If their court packing scheme works the Supreme Court may have 100 justices on it within the next 20 years.
I haven’t seen anything from the Trump appointees that makes them appear to be partisan radicals. In fact on several opinions the Trump judges have come down on different sides. When you have intelligent people who impartially consider the merits of a case it is possible they are going to come down on different sides.
What the Democrats are wanting is radically different. With the Biden judges there would be no need for the judges to make a presentation to the court. The Biden judges would look to AOC, Chucky Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for how they need to rule on the case. The Trump judges may not all vote alike but the Biden judges will vote alike.
IF anything, so far all three of the trump appointees, have been MASSIVE disappointment.
Do the democrats meant to say “packing the morgues”?
What’s the difference if 13 justice or 9 justice… or 781 justice refuse to hear cases… it doesn’t matter anymore… there is no laws. waste of time and money… just get ready for the implosion… we all know it’s gonna’ happen.
Why doesn’t Congress just appoint a commission of ranking Democrats to oversee all SCOTUS decisions and veto any they don’t agree with. There is no need to ‘pack’ the court.
Don’t you dare give the left, any ideas…
If Biden and his administration want to pack something, they should pack their bags and return to civilian life where they belong. The present court seems to have decided favorably for the Left in a number of things anyway.
How’s about pack their bags, and LEAVE THE USA for ever.
