The Democrats are looking for a way to cancel out conservatives that were appointed during the Trump administration.

The court is currently made up of six conservative justices and three liberals, after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

“President Biden on Friday will order a 180-day study of adding seats to the Supreme Court, making good on a campaign-year promise to establish a bipartisan commission to examine the potentially explosive subjects of expanding the court or setting term limits for justices, White House officials said,” according to a report from the New York Times. “The president acted under pressure from activists pushing for more seats to alter the ideological balance of the court after President Donald J. Trump appointed three justices, including one to a seat that Republicans had blocked his predecessor, Barack Obama, from filling for almost a year.”

According to his executive order issued on Friday, Biden will create a 36-member commission to look into potential consequences of changing the size of the court.

“The issue of whether to alter the size of the court, which has been set at nine members since just after the Civil War, is highly charged, particularly at a moment when Congress is almost evenly divided between the two parties. An attempt by Mr. Biden to increase the number of justices would require approval of Congress and would be met by fierce opposition,” the Times report continues.

The commission will be lead by Bob Bauer, former White House counsel for Barack Obama, and Cristina Rodriguez, who was deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel for Obama.


Well we're fricked. Hopefully Florida and Texas don't put up with this shite and this will stop it. Also Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema better not let this go forward.

Liberals never stop. If there's an opportunity, they take it, while Republicans play the cuck.

I would not be surprised, absent a midterm surprise, if we end Biden's term with 53 states, 13 SC justices, and 300 Executive Orders legislating things he has no right to legislate.

Would be a purely evil act. There is no reason to do this except to get their own way.

What would be the reasoning?

Trump had 3 so we need to offset what he did or some BS like that?

“The Commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals,” the White House said in a release. “The topics it will examine include 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; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court’s case selection, rules, and practices.”

didn't Biden dismiss this idea? Obama's phone call to him yesterday

Obama: hey Joe announce a commission we already have people for to pack the supreme court

Joe: aw c'mon man really...save this for Kamala...

Obama: Joe announce it

That’s an interesting bi-partisan commission.

This is not true. I wish it were. But, Roberts is not a conservative, and I believe Kavanaugh is not, either.

Liberals arent hampered by morals and all that jazz. Also most republicans have no balls and are terrified of bad publicity.

And who is going to do this? The most that would happen is an angry letter to a congressman that doesn’t care about you. But, if you figure out how to have a war from your sofa holding your beer, then they’ll be trouble!??
