hostile takeover.
The radical Left in Congress, led by Representative Jerry Nadler (NY) and Senator Ed Markey (MA), are circumventing President Biden – who we just told you announced an Executive order to appoint a commission to look into this very issue – by introducing legislation that would add four (for starters) new Supreme Court Justices.
House and Senate Democrats . . . introduce[d] legislation Thursday to expand the number of Supreme Court justices to 13 from nine, drawing more attention to the debate surrounding court reform.
The bill, led by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), is the first legislation in recent years designed to add seats to the high court, and its introduction comes as progressive organizations are pushing for court expansion, after watching Senate Republicans fill three Supreme Court vacancies in four years under President Donald Trump.

House Democrats and Speaker Pelosi are targeting our entire election system.
Today on Sekulow, we discussed H.R. 1, a bill that the Democrats passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, also interestingly enough called the For the People Act of 2021. What it really does is target our election system.
This bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 220-210. Only one Democrat voted against it. Now it goes to the United States Senate.
The bill, if enacted into law, would codify some of the election issues that we were concerned with in the 2020 election. There are constitutional issues, such as states deciding what their election laws should be rather than the federal government mandating it. Under the election and electors clauses of the Constitution, the states are to determine their own election laws.
Today on
Sekulow, we discussed President Biden’s new commission on the judiciary. Is this the Biden Administration’s court packing commission?
They’d like somewhere between nine and fifteen members of this commission, which is likely what they’d prefer on the U.S. Supreme Court. Chairing President Biden’s commission on the judiciary is his former campaign attorney, Bob Bauer. This is someone who only works for liberals, chairing this commission. That tells you a lot.
President Biden is strategically installing a partisan attorney as chairman of this commission. This attorney is not only partisan, he’s also a proponent of term limits on federal judges, which are currently lifetime appointments under the Constitution. Changing that would require a constitutional amendment. Instead of packing the courts with new justices or judges, you just give them an expiration date and they are automatically removed.
