Politicizing the high court

Posted

Expanding the Supreme Court is a terrible idea. I strongly oppose this proposal and will vote against it should it come up for a vote. “I cannot say it better than 2 liberal members of the court, Justice Ruth Ginsberg and Justice Stephen Breyer: Changing the number of justices on the court does tremendous damage to the court itself.”

Those pushing this are among the most liberal in the entire Congress. They are trying to dilute the conservative majority with a radical policy of court-packing. If successful, this would inevitably lead to changing the number of Supreme Court Justices every time power shifts. That will make the court a political football, destroying its effectiveness and independence.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC
