President Biden in early April appointed a commission to consider restructuring proposals for the Supreme Court, and a group of progressive lawmakers laterBut changing the court—which the Constitution establishes as a branch of government co-equal with Congress and the presidency—faces formidable obstacles. Here’s a look at the why, what and how of overhauling the Supreme Court.No. The first Supreme Court, which had its initial session in 1790, consisted of a chief justice and five associates.
Democrats say Republicans unfairly strong-armed a conservative supermajority onto the Supreme Court when they controlled the Senate, first by refusing to hold hearings when President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland in March 2016, a month after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative. That kept the seat open for more than a year, allowing President Donald Trump to appoint Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was confirmed in April 2017.
If this happens then obviously the next time GOP controls they should add even more seats. And so on and so on.....
Let’s first impose term limits and retire three or four of them.
Liberals (fascists & communists): my way of thinking, and no other.
Love how Democrats weren’t pushing this until they felt to court got out of their control
Neither Dems or GOP will ever be satisfied. They can keep adding all the seats they want. They can put the whole nation in the supreme court. There will never be an even or equal supreme court to make them happy
No lifetime posts. 8 years max. schhesh
Funny, where were the opposing members of the GOP for the past 4 years.
thanks WSJ for really staying so unbiased and not obviously manipulated by corporate speech
I liked it better when judges stayed somber in official pictures instead of all grinning like baboons.
If you ask Republicans about their ideas they say they are a ‘Big Tent’ and embrace many ideas The truth is WE will never tolerate the ideas of fascists, racists, bigots, violent extremists, QAnon nutcases or radicalized Christian lunatics putting the Bible over the Constitution
Shouldn’t be allowed.
