The far-left fumed over an initial draft from Democrat President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court Commission on the issue of packing the Supreme Court, an idea that the report cautioned against.
“Court expansion is likely to undermine, rather than enhance, the Supreme Court’s legitimacy and its role in the constitutional system, and there are significant reasons to be skeptical that expansion would serve democratic values,” the report said, later adding, “Court expansion today could lead to a continuous cycle of future expansions.”
The Washington Post noted that the push from the far-left to expand the Supreme Court in response to former President Donald Trump getting to name three justices to the nation’s highest court was “always something of a pie-in-the-sky idea.”
The far-left was triggered by the draft materials from the Supreme Court Commission, claiming without evidence that the results were “fixed” from the start.
