Adam Schiff Renews Call for Democrats to Pack U.S. Supreme Court With Liberal Justices

It never fails. The minute the U.S. Supreme Court rules in a way that angers the left, Democrats immediately start calling to pack the court with liberal justices.

When they don’t get their way, their first instinct is to change the rules.

Adam Schiff is the latest high profile Democrat to make this demand.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Adam Schiff leads call to pack Supreme Court with liberals

Calls to pack the Supreme Court with liberal justices grew louder over the weekend when partisan Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) put out a new call to “expand, unstack, and reform” the highest court in the land.

In an email to supporters of his Senate campaign, Schiff said, “We must unpack the court by expanding the number of justices on the court, instituting term limits, and enacting a code of ethics like every other federal court.”

Liberal lawmakers have been upset with the court ever since President Donald Trump put three conservatives on it. Since then, there have been demands to retaliate by adding more justices to water down the GOP majority.

Most Americans, however, oppose court packing, and even President Joe Biden has been reluctant to join in the call. A survey from the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports a year ago found that 55% oppose adding more justices.

Democrats, however, appear in favor. That survey, following the court’s decisions to end Roe v. Wade and expand gun rights, said that 64% of Democrats want to add four more justices to the nine on the bench today.

Expanding the size of the Supreme Court isn’t extreme or unprecedented — but the opinions of this Court certainly are.

Ilhan Omar agrees because of course she does.

Every option should be on the table to deliver relief and fix this broken court.

Use the Higher Education Act.
SCOTUS term limits.
Mandatory ethics rules.
Limit judicial review.

Lots of people on the left agree. This tweet sums it up perfctly:

The left:

A court blocks a state law they don't like.
'THIS IS DEMOCRACY IN ACTION!!'

The SCOTUS makes a ruling they don't like.
'WE ARE LIVING UNDER RIGHTWING FASCISM! EXPAND THE COURT! IGNORE THE RULING! DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE!!'

Legacy Admissions: Black and Latino Groups File Civil Rights Complaint Against Harvard for Favoring White People

Harvard

Black and Latino groups filed a civil rights complaint against Harvard, challenging the university’s legacy admissions policy for favoring white people.

The civil rights groups claim Harvard overwhelmingly favors white children of alumni.

The activists are seeking to end Harvard’s legacy and donor admissions program at Harvard.

The civil rights lawsuit comes just days after the US Supreme Court struck down affirmative action policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.

The conservative justices said the race-based affirmative action policies violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Reuters reported:

Three civil rights groups filed a complaint against Harvard on Monday, claiming its preferential policy for undergraduate applicants with family ties to the elite school overwhelmingly benefits white students, days after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down its race-conscious admissions policies.

The groups filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education claiming that Harvard’s preferences for “legacy” applicants violates a federal law banning race discrimination for programs that receive federal funds, as virtually all U.S. colleges and universities do.
