President Joe Biden, the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Justice Stephen Breyer have all questioned the wisdom of packing the Supreme Court.
The views expressed by the Democratic president, and two justices appointed by past Democratic presidents, are increasingly relevant as liberal activists seek to expand the number of Supreme Court seats from nine to 13, presumably filling the four new seats with ideologically friendly justices.
Biden in 1983 called such a move boneheaded. Ginsburg warned that it was a bad idea when former President Franklin Roosevelt tried, and failed, in 1937 to expand the Supreme Court and add favorable judges.
