Last week marked the first meeting of a commission appointed by President Joe Biden to study possible changes to the Supreme Court including an increase in its size aka “court-packing.”
But Demand Justice, a group that advocates adding four justices to the nine-member court, thinks that Democrats can’t wait for the commission to conclude its work before moving to expand the court. One reason for urgency, it suggests, is the possibility that the court might overrule Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
That’s not a far-fetched fear. Last week the justices announced that they will review a Mississippi law that would outlaw most abortions after 15 weeks of a pregnancy a frontal assault on the principle enunciated in Roe and later cases that women have a right to abortion before a fetus is viable.

Key progressive initiatives stall in Congress as some on the left urge Biden to go bold, and go alone
Updated 12:04 AM ET, Sat May 22, 2021 (CNN)As President Joe Biden pursues his quest for a bipartisan legislative victory and Congress winds down before the Memorial Day holiday, some of the top legislative priorities for progressives are stalling in Washington as Democrats hopes for big bold changes collide with the limits of what Biden can achieve under a deeply divided government.
The gulf between progressive ambition and the legislative reality means there is all-but-certain friction ahead between Biden and the restive liberal wing of his party, which united behind him after he defeated Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during the Democratic presidential primary and marshaled their forces to help the party flip two US Senate seats in Georgia, giving Democrats control of that chamber.
