WASHINGTON -President Joe Biden created a bipartisan commission Friday to study structural changes to the Supreme Court, giving the group 180 days to produce a report on a range of thorny topics including court expansion and term limits.
The commission, composed of 36 legal scholars, former federal judges and practicing lawyers, fulfills Biden s campaign promise to establish such a group after activists pushed him to back expanding the court following Republicans rush to confirm Justice Amy Coney Barrett shortly before last year s election. Biden has said he is not a fan of adding seats to the Supreme Court, but he has declined to say whether he supports any other changes to its structure.
