Kelly Shackelford: Biden's secret court-packing commission – here's what first meeting tells of Dems' plans

President Joe Biden, already under intense criticism for lack of transparency on his border and immigration policies, is launching his Supreme Court “reform” commission in a way that is sure to bring more suspicion and mistrust his way.

The 36-member commission went virtual in its first meeting – a strange tactic when the entire constitutional order is hanging in the balance. The commission’s idea of encouraging "commentary and debate" on this politicization of the federal judiciary is to filter everything through unnamed, faceless bureaucrats.  Court-packing would undermine, or completely do away with, the carefully constructed and durable system of checks and balances that the Founders put in place. Attendance at the virtual event required registration by submitting name, organization (if applicable), email address and phone number to the Designated Federal Officer who, of course, was unknown to any of us.
