(CNS News.com) Left-wing Democrats Sen. Ed Markey (Mass.), Rep. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Rep. Hank Johnson (Ga.), and Rep. Mondaire Jones (N.Y.) introduced legislation today to expand the U.S. Supreme Court from 9 seats to 13, a step that many Republicans and conservatives have denounced as packing the court to help keep Democrats in power indefinitely.
The House Judiciary Committee, headed by Nadler, said in a press release, This bill would restore balance to the nation’s highest court after four years of norm-breaking actions by Republicans led to its current composition and greatly damaged the Court’s standing in the eyes of the American people.
