Democrats Are Determined To Pack The Court, No Matter - How Many Rules They Have To Break

In a clear partisan effort to pack the U.S. Supreme Court with more liberal justices, congressional Democrats introduced a bill on Thursday seeking to expand the number of justices from nine to 13.

The bill was introduced just days after Biden commissioned 36 left-leaning scholars, former judges, and lawyers led by a former Obama adviser to evaluate expanding the number of justices. The White House marketed the so-called “bipartisan” commission as a 180-day effort to examine and outline “the genesis of the reform debate, the Court’s role in the Constitutional system, the length of service and turnover of justices on the Court” as well as “the Court’s case selection, rules, and practices.”

Democrats’ new legislation shows the commission is merely a ruse to appease those easily fooled by Biden’s false unity rhetoric.

Biden previously refused to admit he wants to pack the courts, but after mounting pressure from progressive activists who want to retaliate against former President Donald Trump’s court picks, he prioritized what he called “Court reform” because he said the system is “getting out of whack.”

Former and current justices, even those who are hailed by the progressives, have previously warned against a partisan effort from either party to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court because it would undermine the judicial branch’s “legal principle,” but the Democrats won’t listen.

“I hope and expect that the court will retain its authority,” Justice Stephen Breyer said. “But that authority, like the rule of law, depends on trust, a trust that the court is guided by legal principle, not politics. Structural alteration motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed that perception, further eroding that trust.”

Late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg issued a similar warning against expanding the Court in 2016, saying it could damage judicial integrity.

“It’s important that the Supreme Court is able to resolve conflicts among other courts about what the federal law is. That’s why eight is not a good number,” Ginsburg explained. “If we’re unable to decide the question, you can have one federal law in one area of the country and the opposite federal law in another part of the country.”

We knew that if Democrats won the presidency and both chambers of Congress, they would pack the Supreme Court. How could we not after countless congressional leftists such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez signaled their intent to get revenge on Republicans for bypassing their malicious stalling campaigns against Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh?

The Democrats not only left the confirmation hearings for all of Trump’s justices kicking and screaming, but they also falsely accused the Republican president, aided by GOP senators, of “packing the court” and vowed to use their power to do it back.
