Democrats Plan Bill to Pack Supreme Court with Four New Justices: REPORT
House and Senate Democrats are planning a new bill to pack the Supreme Court.
According to a report by The Intercept, Congressional Democrats will unveil the new legislation on Thursday.
“The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13, from the current 9. The number of justices on the Court has fluctuated widely throughout the course of the nation’s history. Republicans currently hold 6 seats, while Democrats hold just 3 after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the quick confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.” The Intercept reported.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, Subcommittee chair Hank Johnson, and Rep. Mondaire Jones are leading the charge in the House and it’s being backed by Ed Markey (MA) in the Senate.
