From Fox News: Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is calling for “radically” altering the U.S. Supreme Court by increasing the number of justices on the bench, and more.
“We need to radically reform the broken Supreme Court,” the congresswoman declared in social media posts, calling for “expanding the number of Justices,” “a binding, enforceable code of ethics,” and “imposing term limits.”
“SCOTUS reform is on the ballot in November,” the lawmaker asserted.
While there are currently nine slots on the high court, some lawmakers advocate for increasing the number of seats, a proposal referred to by critics as court packing.
Omar, who took office in 2019 and is currently seeking re-election, has been an outspoken advocate of the policy.
Omar, who came to the US as a Somalian refugee, posted a video calling for the U.S. Supreme Court to be transformed.
“We need to reform this program Court,” she declares in the video.
She also wildly claims in the video, “They won’t stop with overturning Roe v. Wade… they are coming for the right to birth control, they are coming for marriage equality.”
“We cannot wait for this extremist, radical, religious-right Court to strip our rights away one by one. It is time we have a Supreme Court that actually reflects the will of the American people,” Omar brazenly declared.
We need to radically reform the broken Supreme Court. That starts with:
– Expanding the number of Justices
– A binding, enforceable code of ethics
– Imposing term limitsSCOTUS reform is on the ballot in November. 17 days left until Election Day. pic.twitter.com/GiXVugx9aD

Ain’t gonna happen.

The Supreme Court is fine the way it is. If you don’t like it, then leave and go back to where you came from.

When Republicans retake the Senate and White House the Democrats will instantly lose interest in expanding the Supreme Court. In fact they will preach loudly for the status quo.
