The Court-Packing Bill and Biden’s SCOTUS Commission Are Weapons to Intimidate Current Justices

NCLA’s Senior Litigation Counsel John Vecchione joins Steve Gruber’s “The Voice of Reason” on WJIM to discuss 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.

• 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.
