Democrats Propose Expanding Supreme Court
28 News 04/14/2021 1492WASHINGTON — Democratic lawmakers are set to unveil legislation Thursday to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court. A move that would add four seats.
Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Reps. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., Hank Johnson, D-Ga., and Mondaire Jones, D-N.Y., will hold a press conference on Thursday to introduce the proposal on the steps of the Supreme Court.
Given their control of the White House and the Senate, the legislation could allow them to supersede the current conservative majority by "packing" the Court with liberal justices.
The Supreme Court has had nine justices since the 19th century, though it is not required by the Constitution.
