Newsom, however, stopped short of calling for packing the Supreme Court to advance the Democratic Party\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, because my kids are going to live with a Supreme Court that\u2019s larger than Congress,\u201d Newsom said of court-packing. Bills to expand the size of the Supreme Court were introduced in both the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/2584\/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22Judiciary+Act+of+2021%22%5D%7D&#038;r=1&#038;s=1\">House of Representatives<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/senate-bill\/1141?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22Judiciary+Act+of+2021%22%5D%7D&#038;s=1&#038;r=1\">Senate<\/a> in April 2021, and Democrats have continually called for both ending the filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court. Most recently, Democratic Massachusetts Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markey.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/senator-markey-statement-on-dangerous-west-virginia-v-epa-decision\">Ed Markey<\/a> repeated calls to expand the Court in June, in reaction to the Court\u2019s decision in\u00a0<em>West Virginia v. EPA.\u00a0<\/em>Newsom predicted that efforts to expand the number of Justices from 9 to 13 would backfire, saying that Republicans would retaliate by expanding the Court again the next time they hold power.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom was not so shy about calling to reform the Filibuster. \u201cFilibuster\u2019s a whole different thing,\u201d he told The Hill. \u201cThere\u2019s a prospect there.\u201d\u00a0\u201cThis is hardly novel, this is hardly revolutionary or revelatory,\u201d he said, noting that the Senate had previously eliminated the filibuster for procedures like budget reconciliation, as well as appointments of Executive Branch nominees and federal judges.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom also slammed the 60-vote threshold for making it harder to get legislation through the upper chamber, therefore making the government less effective.\u201cFundamentally this notion of the tyranny of the minority \u2026 at a certain point, this dysfunction cannot last,\u201d Newsom said. \u201cAt a certain point this thing called government is just ineffective, inefficient and incapable of adjusting to the needs of the American people without having some forcing effect to actually get something done,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s comments at the Capitol came right after Republican Oklahoma Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/senate\/3559360-gop-senator-blocks-bill-to-protect-interstate-travel-for-abortion\/\">James Lankford<\/a> blocked a unanimous consent request to advance a bill protecting abortion patients who travel out-of-state to seek an abortion. Newsom\u2019s home state of California is in the midst of efforts to enshrine abortion and contraception into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/california-dems-to-introduce-bill-enshrining-abortion-contraception-rights-into-state-constitution\">state constitution<\/a>, and Newsom himself is making efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democratic-governors-try-to-lure-back-companies-with-promises-of-abortion\">woo back<\/a> companies that left his state by promising them access to abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s stop at Capitol Hill is the latest in a multi-day trip to the nation\u2019s Capital, a trip that has prompted increased speculation in the mainstream media about a possible 2024 presidential run. Newsom has already begun a media campaign targeting conservatives: in June, he joined former President Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GavinNewsom\/status\/1537519138398031872?s=20&#038;t=lNFAGrbVU1YVPRU9K8HPLg\">Truth Social<\/a> platform in an effort to \u201c[call] out Republican lies,\u201d and bought more than $100,000 in cable news <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/newsom-buys-ad-space-in-florida-desantis-campaign-responds\">ad space<\/a> attacking Republicans in Florida. Newsom also attempted to co-opt conservative messaging for his own purposes in announcing California\u2019s annual budget, claiming that the budget \u201c[shows] the nation what a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/newsom-california-democratic-lawmakers-claim-true-pro-life-agenda-in-budget-announcement\">true pro-life agenda<\/a> looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Governor Gavin Newsom attacked the Senate filibuster Thursday, calling it a \u201ctyranny of the minority\u201d and expressing support for reforming or eliminating it.
