April 21, 2021 By Joe Rothstein President Biden is under heavy fire from progressive Democrats for ducking the question of whether to add four justices to the Supreme Court. But Biden appears to be on firm ground with the public on that issue. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that only 38% would favor adding justices. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also tossed a bucket of cold water on the embers of that idea. Increasing the number of justices, though, isn’t the only way to combat the Republicans’ court packing efforts. According to that poll, while the public is leery of expanding the Supreme Court, two-thirds of the respondents would favor ending lifetime tenure. Another way to unpack the court would be to rotate justices off the high court after a fixed number of years and have them serve on lower courts. Presumably, Biden’s commission will hear public testimony on all these suggestions and more.
