Democrats kick off push to pack Supreme Court with four new justices
Fox News
A group of Democrats Thursday formally launched a legislative effort to pack the Supreme Court by adding four new justices, in a move that was hailed by progressive activists but quickly met with fierce GOP opposition and skepticism by Democratic leadership.
They said the far-right has hijacked the court thanks to "norm-breaking" moves by Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and expanding the number of justices is necessary to restore balance and integrity to the highest court in America. Jones, a freshman lawmaker from New York's Westchester County, said the Supreme Court's latest decisions on campaign finance, voting rights and partisan gerrymandering show the "court has been hostile to democracy itself."'More Related News
