In a statement, the White House said the commission would tackle the merits and legality of specific high court reform proposals. Along with the contentious idea of expanding the court, reform advocates have recently pushed for term limits for the justices.

The Commissions purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, the statement said....

This. People are going to be real disappointed when they come out and recommend against expanding the courts, given that I'm pretty sure the only reason people are excited about this is because they think it will produce evidence that will justify expanding the courts.

If it gets the opposition sweating, that's enough.

Hopefully, itll get the opposition sweating enough to show up during the midterm election. Also, expect a ton of lawsuits if Biden tries to expand and pack SCOTUS.

the difference between Dems / Biden and Repubs / Trump is that Biden and the Dems investigate whether it's legal before doing it. Trump would just fucking ramrod it through, then claim any investigation into the legality of what he did was partisan whining.

There should be as many justices as there are circuit courts.

It would be a mistake - Republicans would just add more justices when they have power and overrule as many decisions as possible

Well, at least Bidens commission is better than Obamas.
I dont expect anything to come of it, because there are probably 5-10 Senate Dems who would defect before they would ever support serious reform of our judiciary or really any part of our janky, kludge-filled wreck of a government.
