Trey Gowdy said Thursday that the Democrats\u2019 new court-packing bill was \u201ca gift from God\u201d to Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Gowdy joined Fox News anchor Bret Baier on \u201cSpecial Report\u201d to discuss the bill, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/15\/mondaire-jones-supreme-court-expansion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unveiled<\/a> earlier in the day by Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey and House Judiciary Committee Chairman <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/15\/unpacking-jerry-nadler-defends-legislation-expand-supreme-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jerry Nadler<\/a>, among others.<strong> <a class=\"text-black\" href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/15\/andy-mccarthy-court-packing-bill-gun-supreme-courts-head-nancy-pelosi-joe-biden\/\">(RELATED: \u2018Theater With A Purpose\u2019: Andy McCarthy Says Court-Packing Bill Is \u2018A Gun To The Supreme Court\u2019s Head\u2019)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baier began by noting that House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/15\/pelosi-nadler-court-packing-bill-house-floor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nancy Pelosi<\/a> had already signaled that she would not support the bill \u2014 which would immediately expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices \u2014 saying instead that she supported President Joe Biden\u2019s plan to have a commission study the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBret, this is a gift from God,\u201d Gowdy said of the bill. \u201cThat is the only way to describe it. It has no chance ever of becoming law with the current Congress but it will be used to bludgeon Democrat candidates in 2022 which is why you saw that motley group of only four that can\u2019t even wait for Biden\u2019s commission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo Republicans rejoice that Jerry Nadler is handling strategy for 2022. You are guaranteed to retake the House and the Senate,\u201d Gowdy concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Baier pointed out that the bill\u2019s passage likely also hinged on whether Democrats succeeded in doing away with the Senate filibuster \u2014 but Axios\u2019 Jonathan Swan didn\u2019t believe that was likely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it all comes as you said it comes down to Joe Manchin. It\u2019s not just Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema opposes eliminating the filibuster, but Manchin is dug in on this issue,\u201d Swan said. \u201cHe\u2019s put out an op-ed. He said it a million times on the record I don\u2019t see any sign that he is softening on this issue whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Republican South Carolina Rep.
