Joe Biden set up a commission to review the US Supreme Court with the view of making updates. One of the things expected from this commission was the potential to add justices. The released discussion materials, from the commission, does not suggest that the left will get this wish. They feel that if more progressive judges are added to the court, balance and integrity would be restored to our judicial system.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have said since the Commission’s beginning that for the Commission to provide a meaningful contribution to restoring the legitimacy of our judiciary, it needs to advance a specific list of Supreme Court reforms that can be acted upon in the near term,” American Constitution Society President Russ Feingold said in a statement. “The discussion materials released today unfortunately fail to match the urgency of the situation and do not lay out a solution to the legitimacy crisis before us.”<\/p>\n

The American Constitution Society is the left-leaning counterpart to the libertarian and conservative Federalist Society. Feingold added that the commission should have pushed for several options “to remedy the Right’s packing of the Court,” among other things.<\/p>\n

Feingold said the lack of support for such proposals will result in the Supreme Court “continuing to strip away our constitutional rights and undermine our democratic legitimacy as a country.”<\/p>\n

The term court-packing was coined when former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt proposed adding several justices to the Supreme Court because he was frustrated with the results of the court’s rulings. Many Democrats are proposing that same thing now. In some cases, Democrats also use the term court-packing to refer to political hardball tactics used by Republicans during standard judicial confirmations without actually expanding the number of justices — as Feingold did in his statement.<\/p>\n

The White House has emphasized that the documents the commission released Thursday were only discussion materials, not even a draft of a final report. The commission still has some time to produce its final document. It is also notably tasked not with making recommendations but with summarizing the debate around court reform and some potential actions Congress or the White House could take on the issue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
