Biden orders study on 'size' of Supreme Court, other possible changes amid liberal court-packing push

President Biden will issue an executive order Friday to form a commission to study reforms to the United States Supreme Court. 

The 36-member commission will be bipartisan and will hold public meetings to evaluate court reforms. The new panel will have 180 days from the first meeting to complete its report of recommendations. While court-packing -- or expanding the number of justices beyond nine -- has been the most high-profile court reform debated, Biden's executive order seeks to look at other judicial changes, including the lifetime appointment of justices.
