The New York Times reported that Biden did so because he was \u201cunder pressure from activists.\u201d The commission, which is being led by two former Obama officials, is comprised of members who are overwhelmingly on the political Left, leading George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley to warn that it was \u201cnot a good sign\u201d for how things are likely to go.<\/p>\n<p>Reid\u2019s push for Democrats to exercise caution before doing anything radical to the court system comes after Reid eliminated the filibuster for judicial nominees under former President Barack Obama, a move that then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) warned Democrats would come to regret. Just a few short years later, they did regret it after President Donald Trump got to select three Supreme Court justices and got to reshape the federal judiciary with scores of conservative judges.<\/p>\n<p>Court-packing is politically controversial, and the majority of Americans oppose it, including socialist Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-election-sanders\/u-s-senator-bernie-sanders-against-increasing-number-of-supreme-court-justices-idUSKCN1RD3AL\">Bernie Sanders<\/a> (I-VT), leftist Supreme Court Justice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/a-political-power-grab-biden-creates-commission-to-study-packing-the-supreme-court\">Stephen Breyer<\/a>, and even former leftist Supreme Court Justice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/a-political-power-grab-biden-creates-commission-to-study-packing-the-supreme-court\">Ruth Bader Ginsburg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project (A3P), warned that Biden\u2019s move was \u201calarming\u201d and must \u201cbe met with the harshest of denunciations from both sides of the aisle\u201d because packing the Supreme Court would lead to \u201cirreversible damage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPacking the Supreme Court would destroy centuries of hard work from Democrat- and Republican-appointed justices to insulate the high court from partisan politics,\u201d Davis warned. \u201cIt also raises serious red flags as to what unconstitutional actions President Biden is planning that a more favorable Supreme Court might tolerate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
