Turley blasts Democrats for planning 'hostile takeover of the Supreme Court' with court-packing proposal

Legislation to expand the Supreme Court proposed by House and Senate Democrats represents "a crisis of leadership and a failure on the part of President Biden," George Washington University law professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley told "The Story" Thursday.

"We need a president to say,  'This is enough. This is pure and raw court-packing,'" Turley continued. "The public has been always against court-packing. The polls are very high. They've never been equivocating in their own right. The public sees it for what it is. Liberal justices have opposed this. This is called a hostile takeover of the Supreme Court against the wishes of the public, even liberal justices, and against the weight of history." MacCallum recalled that the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg threw cold water on the idea of court-packing when she stated in 2019: "If anything that would make the court appear partisan. It would be that -- one side saying, 'When we're in power, we’re going to enlarge the number of justices so we’ll have more people who will vote the way we want them to.' So I'm not at all in favor of that solution to what I see as a temporary situation."
