Biden Exec Order Designed to Increase Voting and Voter Registration Access for Prisoners
Democrats in Congress are reportedly leading a bicameral effort to pack the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking to expand number of justices on the bench from nine to 13.
According to the Intercept, the bill is being led by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Subcommittee chairman Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), and freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY).
Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts is leading the effort in the U.S. Senate.
Breitbart reports:
Democrats began talking about packing the Supreme Court after Justce Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed in 2018. Biden once dismissed the idea, but moved to the left on the issue, as he did on many others. He declined to state his position until late in the 2020 presidential campaign, after the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, when he proposed the commission.
Expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices would give liberal justices a nominal 7-6 majority. Congress can set the size of the Supreme Court without a constitutional amendment, though the last president who tried to pack the Supreme Court, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was opposed by his own party.

Democrats in Congress are dropping a bill on Thursday to add 4 seats to the Supreme Court, bringing, effectively erasing the conservative majority Trump appointed
If Joe Biden is the "uniter" he claims to be, he needs to immediately come out against this bill

Last week, it was reported that President Joe Biden issued an executive order to establish a presidential commission to examine “the length of service and turnover of justices on the Court; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court’s case selection, rules, and practices,” among other things.
The commission should have a report completed within 180 days of its first meeting.
Last week, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer actually warned against court packing.
In a speech prepared for Harvard Law School, Breyer said, “Structural alteration motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed that perception, further eroding that trust.”
