Biden Lays Groundwork For a Supreme Court Takeover - Sekulow TV

On today's episode, we discuss President Joe Biden’s Executive Order putting together a Court-packing commission on the Supreme Court of the United States. And there is a lot involved in it. Talk about your words coming back to haunt you; when the President was Senator Biden back in 1983, he called attempting to pack the Supreme Court a “bonehead idea.”

President Roosevelt suggested there should be 15 seats on the Supreme Court. Fortunately, at the time, his idea received bipartisan criticism, just as President Biden criticized it in the 1980s. Now that he is President, however, he seems to have changed his mind when it comes to Court-packing.

It’s important to note that while FDR ultimately pulled back his plan to expand the Supreme Court, some conservative justices began to side in favor of his New Deal legislation. Whether it was just a power play or not, in FDR’s case, it had the desired effect.

It should be no surprise to anyone that the ACLJ vehemently opposes this move, and our legal team will vigilantly monitor the proceedings of the President’s Court-packing committee. And we will be prepared to act.
