Elizabeth Warren calls for Congress to expand Supreme Court: 'I believe it’s time'
Fox News
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D.-Mass., called for Congress to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court.
"I don’t come to this conclusion lightly or because I disagree with a particular decision; I come to this conclusion because I believe the current court threatens the democratic foundations of our nation," Warren wrote, noting threats to eliminate Roe v. Wade and a person’s right to choose sparked her decision.
"For years, I have argued for reforms to the ethical practices of the Supreme Court. Justices should not be allowed to receive big checks and all-expenses-paid trips from extremist right-wing legal groups or go on expensive hunting trips with litigants who appear before the court," Warren wrote. "But the problems with today’s court run deeper than ethical abuses."
