Democrats Unveil Bill to Expand SCOTUS: “The Court Is Broken”

HeadlineApr 16, 2021

A group of Democratic lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday to expand the Supreme Court from nine justices to 13. This is Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey.

Sen. Ed Markey: “The court is broken. And make no mistake about it: The court is broken because Leader Mitch McConnell, his Senate Republican colleagues and Donald Trump broke it.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she does not plan to bring the bill to the floor, instead throwing her support behind Biden’s recently launched Supreme Court reform commission.
