The Danger of Court Packing

Jul 29, 2021 1 min read

Last week, President Biden’s Commission on the Supreme Court met for the second time to study potential “reforms.” During the meeting, the commission heard arguments supporting and opposing the practice of “court-packing”—expanding the Supreme Court beyond its current nine justices. Leftist proponents favor packing the court with new liberal justices in order to “balance” the court’s current composition. However, this would compromise confidence in the court, weaken the judicial branch, and destroy the limits on government our founders set in place. We must protect the integrity and impartiality of the Supreme Court. Your voice and values can make a difference!

Your Steps to Make a Difference:

LEARN: Watch the short video, How Court Packing Jeopardizes our Liberty, then read The Daily Signal article, As Predicted, Court-Packing Looms Large in Supreme Court Commission’s Second Public Meeting. Post either on one or more of your social media accounts using the hashtag #CourtPacking and #SCOTUS. If you do not use social media, email the video or article to 5 of your friends.

SHARE: Email the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court directly, and share your perspectives on court-packing and the expanding the number of justices on the bench.

ACT: Write a letter to the editor of a national publication describing your thoughts and perspectives on court-packing.
