Kelly Shackelford: Supreme Court-packing threat looms as justices return

As the Supreme Court of the United States returns to in-person arguments, all ears will be tuned to One First Street, NE, as the justices consider several cases impacting our constitutional rights.

Adding justices to the court in order to reach the political results you are seeking is a horrible idea, and dangerous.

The very next week, the court will hear arguments in Carson v. Makin. Our friends at Institute for Justice are lead counsel in the case, asking the court to reverse a lower court decision that allows the state of Maine to fund otherwise generally-available student aid to families unless they attend a religious school.
