Conservatives Quit Biden Supreme Court Commission Amid Concerns of Court Packing

The following article, Conservatives Quit Biden Supreme Court Commission Amid Concerns of Court Packing, was first published on Big League Politics.

Two legal scholars have quit President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court commission amid terms partisan liberals will slam through documents demanding that the court be expanded to include several left-wing judges.

Caleb Nelson of the University of Virginia and Jack Goldsmith of Harvard both resigned from the panel before the other members of the Biden commission spoke publicly during a Friday event.

Biden had promised the commission as a means to avoid answering on his potential plans to pack the Supreme Court during the 2020 campaign, merely claiming the commission would investigate the possibility of radically altering the court.

The court commission has considered the possibility of Supreme Court term limits and other ways to bypass the authority of the Supreme Court, with the institution suddenly becoming deeply objectionable to Democrats the moment conservative justices take a bare-bones majority.
