HOW WE PUT COURT
EXPANSION ON THE MAP
Who's
For Court Reform
“We are on the verge of a crisis of confidence in the Supreme Court…We have to take this challenge head on, and everything is on the table to do that.”
"[W]e need to expand the courts."
—Ezra Levin, co-Executive Director of Indivisible
“The...conservative majority is irrevocably tainted by Mitch McConnell's theft of one of Obama's appointments. A Democratic president with a Democratic Senate and no filibuster should address this problem by adding two justices.”
—Dan Pfeiffer
“This extremist court has shown that it is not interested in advancing the equal administration of justice. It’s time to rebalance the Supreme Court to create one that is.”
"Kamala D. Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O’Rourke and Kirsten Gillibrand are among the...contenders declaring themselves at least open to court enlargement. Good. Giving in to McConnell’s manipulation of the judiciary is not principled restraint. It’s cowardice."
—EJ Dionne Jr. (photo: Brookings)
“One of the main ways that we get America to actually be the equitable, just, and great place it claims to be but has never been is by expanding the Supreme Court.”
—W. Kamau Bell
"The only relevant issue is what might be done to restore the [Supreme] Court to something closer to, well, judiciousness."
—EJ Dionne Jr.
