“You didn’t see Republicans when we had control of the Senate try to rig the game. You didn’t see us try to pack the court,” said Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Thursday. This simple fact is actually indisputable, but the left is coming out in force to dispute this.
Court-packing is defined by Merriam-Webster as “the act or practice of packing a court and especially the United States Supreme Court by increasing the number of judges or justices in an attempt to change the ideological makeup of the court.” Republicans simply have never attempted this. But if you listen to the left, the GOP is guilty of court-packing. How exactly? Well, I looked at the various things they claimed were “court-packing” and compiled them below. So, let’s review them and debunk the myth that any of these are court-packing.
Biden has an opportunity to reform and diversify federal courts

America’s third branch of government has been at the epicenter of the news cycle in recent years, with the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, high-profile battles over U.S. Supreme Court nominations, and controversy over election results putting the power and influence of the bench into full focus.
We have seen that courts can be an instrument for social and political change; they can be the sword and the shield. But they best serve justice when they are inclusive a perennial challenge for the federal judiciary.

The old guard of the judiciary moves on as Biden announces new picks for bench
As President Joe Biden launches a new era of judicial appointments, the old guard of the bench is in its twilight.
The judges of the Ronald Reagan era who pioneered the modern conservative revolution in American law are down to just a handful among the 870 total spots on the three-tier federal bench. Those few are still writing some of the most contentious, attention-grabbing opinions, for example to restrict voting, regulate abortion and limit free press.
At the same time, influential liberals of President Bill Clinton’s two terms, those most prominent in countering conservatism, are leaving and making way for Biden nominees. Judges David Tatel, on the influential District of Columbia Circuit, and Robert Katzmann, of the New York-based 2nd Circuit, announced their retirements soon after Biden’s inauguration.
