Court-packing supporters tell Biden Supreme Court commission 'democracy is under assault' by justices

Court-packing supporters told President Biden's Supreme Court commission that sitting Supreme Court justices represent a grave threat to democracy.

The meeting was the third held by the commission, which is tasked with producing a report for the president later this year on the status of the debate over the U.S. court system – particularly the Supreme Court – and potential reforms to it.  Nan Aron, the president of the progressive Alliance for Justice, accused Republicans of hypocrisy for how they confirmed Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, and accused those justices of bias.  "It would be one thing if these justices then turned around and were fair and impartial. However, in scores of democracy cases, they've consistently undermined democracy and aided the very party that appointed them," she said. "Republicans are using this undemocratic and partisan majority on the court to cement their own power."
