Bill calls for 4 new justices to ensure left-wing decisions
The House and Senate Democrats are moving forward with a bill to add 4 new justices to the Supreme Court. There is nothing subtle or elegant in the move. Just a raw muscle play to take control of the Court… https://t.co/rVF26OYlst

Turley said the move shows “the cost of a failure of leadership in the Democratic party, including President Biden.”
That was because the Democrats apparently are refusing to cooperate even among themselves. Biden announced just days ago a commission, dominated by Democrats, to consider changes to the Supreme Court.
“Democrats are launching a full assault on the independence of the federal judiciary. Republicans will stop them,” said Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo.
Matt Whitlock, a former staffer for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, called the move, which Biden once described when he was a senator as “boneheaded,” as a “fantastic gift” to Republicans.
“And making it a bill instead of a Senate rules process means we get to get moderate House D’s on the record on it too. Just a fantastic turn of events,” he said.
Democrats have claimed that Republicans “packed” the court when President Trump successfully nominated three justices to fill three vacancies, because then-Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell did not move forward Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland at the end of Obama’s term.
The move comes despite the opposition of late justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an icon to progressives, as well as current liberal justice Stephen Breyer.
Breyer recently warned: “My experience of more than 30 years… as a judge has shown me that once men and women take the judicial oath they take that oath to heart. They are loyal to the rule of law, not to the political party that helped to secure their appointment. These considerations convince me that it is wrong to think of the court as just another political institution and it is doubly wrong to think of its members as junior league politicians.”
“Structural alteration motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed that latter perception, further eroding that trust,” he said. “There is no shortcut.”
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, called the Democrats’ move “an act of arrogant lawlessness.”
