Democrats slammed by conservatives over renewed court-packing threats if cases don’t go their way

Democrats are getting slammed by conservatives over the party’s renewed threats to pack the Supreme Court if an upcoming abortion case does not go their way.

"It will inevitably fuel and drive an effort to expand the Supreme Court if this activist majority betrays fundamental constitutional principles," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told The Hill on Monday. "It’s already driving that movement." "Chipping away at Roe v. Wade will precipitate a seismic movement to reform the Supreme Court," Blumenthal continued. "It may not be expanding the Supreme Court, it may be making changes to its jurisdiction, or requiring a certain numbers of votes to strike down certain past precedents."
