BREAKING: Biden Creating Commission to Study Expanding the Supreme Court

24. Interesting, too, that Justice Breyer came out 2 days ago with his own criticism of altering SCOTUS

Breyer's basic argument is changing the number of justices would be perceived as a purely partisan act and further erode the integrity of the Supreme Court in the eyes of the public.

Of course, you could just as easily argue that Republicans have already turned the question into a partisan battle after what McConnell has done--his refusal to give Merrick Garland a hearing during President Obama's tenure and then pushing 3 highly ideological candidates onto the court during Trump's years.

At this point, the commission announcement may simply be a shot across the bow from the Biden Administration, a message for McConnell and the court as well. The Biden team has a program and policies they intend to deliver on; they will use any and all roads to reach their destination.

Could get interesting!
