Fox News
Democrats advocating legislation to expand the Supreme Court to 13 members from the traditional nine will face "a lot of pushback," Fox News chief legal correspondent and "Fox News @ Night" host Shannon Bream said Wednesday.
The House bill is sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., and freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones, D-N.Y., The Senate legislation is sponsored by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. The Intercept first reported on the legislation Wednesday. The bill comes just days after liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer warned during a lecture at Harvard Law School that politically-driven changes to the Supreme Court risked damaging the rule of law in the United States. Democrats control the House and maintain the slimmest possible margin in the Senate with Vice President Kamala Harris able to break tie votes in the Senate.More Related News
