Court-Packing Violates the Civil Liberties of Every American

NCLA’s Executive Director and General Counsel Mark Chenoweth joins “The Larry Elder Show” with guest-host Jennifer Horn on KRLA AM 870 to discuss the reality of the recent court-packing proposals.

Key takeaways:

• The court-packing bill has an intimidating effect on the current justices. Even if the bill goes nowhere, it is still an intimidation tactic to make the Supreme Court less rigorous in its legal analysis.

• NCLA Founder Philip Hamburger wrote an Op-Ed for the Wall Street Journal, “Court Packing Is a Dangerous Game,” stating, “Even if the size of the bench remains the same, intimidation diminishes the justices’ stature.” Read his opinion here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/court-pa…​

• Biden’s Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court is also an intimidation weapon. It is not split down the middle and the seats are distributed unequally.
