Biden Creates Commission To Study Supreme Court Reform
(Worthy News) – President Joe Biden’s administration is creating a commission to study Supreme Court reform, Politico reported Wednesday.
The new bipartisan commission will be under the purview of the White House Counsel, according to Politico. Multiple members have already been selected, sources familiar with the discussions told Politico, including Yale Law School professor Cristina Rodríguez, former president of the American Constitution Society Caroline Fredrickson, and Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith.
During the 2020 presidential election, Biden refused to address whether he would pack the court, insisting that he would not provide such an answer until at least 180 days after he became president and after he had received a recommendation from a bipartisan commission on changing the Supreme Court.
“If elected, what I will do is I’ll put together a national commission – a bipartisan commission … and I will ask them to, over 180 days, come back to me with recommendations as to how to reform the court system … it’s not about court packing,” he said in October. “There’s a number of alternatives that go well beyond court packing.” [ Source: Daily Caller (Read More…) ]
