Biden Sets Up Commission To Study Supreme Court Reform
NPRBiden Sets Up Commission To Study Supreme Court Reform Enlarge this image toggle caption Andrew Harnik/AP Andrew Harnik/AP President Biden signed an executive order Friday setting up a bipartisan commission that will study U.S. Supreme Court reform, and, among other things, examine the size of the court and the justices' lifetime appointments. "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 statement. Liberal advocates contend that an expanded Supreme Court would give Biden a real chance to implement a legislative agenda, which will otherwise almost certainly be mired in litigation due to conservative legal challenges. Sponsor Message Biden has rejected the idea of "packing" the court, a view that gained renewed attention this week when Justice Stephen Breyer, one of the court's three liberals, warned against an expansion of the Supreme Court.
