President Joe Biden is set to issue an executive order on Friday forming a bipartisan commission that will perform a 180-day study of potential changes to the Supreme Court, including court packing and setting term limits for justices.
“The Commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals,” the White House said in a statement. “The topics it will examine include the genesis of the reform debate; the Court’s role in the Constitutional system

No need for another commission. Read the constitution, it's very clear.
I'm getting tired of having my constitutional rights trampled on by unelected miscreants.

Well, why not? The SCOTUS seems to be ignoring the American people and the interpretation of our laws as it stands now. What's a few more justices?

Bipartisan? Any republican who agrees to serve on this BS commission is a traitor and needs to be kicked out of the republican party.

The Constitution does not prescribe a number...Congress may. The number has varied in the past from six to ten to nine (since 1869). FDR proposed the appointment of one additional justice for each incumbent who reached age 70 years 6 months and refused retirement, up to a maximum bench of 15 justices. A Democrat Senate shot it down by a wide margin.

Well, it’s they Have no interest the whole of the American people, so they just work on building political power. Against the will of the people. Biden only got more votes because they outright cheated. That’s why they are against audits and recounts.

Why bother? They’re already aligned 7-2 against the American people, the constitution, and in turn our beloved republic.
We can all thank three justices for this latest assault against us.

I pray that the Republi-Can'ts have enough of a spine to actually put Ted Cruz on this commission, with the full understanding that he is allowed to be in full "attack dog" mode the whole time!!!!! But they won't. They will put a bunch of "play nice" RINO's on the commission that will go along with anything their Demon-Rat overlords tell them to do.
I lost a lot of respect for Ted Cruz in the way he stabbed President Trump a few months ago, there has not been a more aggressive or outspoken Republican when it comes to defending the Constitution!!! I say set him free to be the attack dog he is if the Demon-Rats truly want to "go there"!!!!!

Just when I thought Biden could not get any worse, I hear about this commission. We know what the result will be after this 180-day commission. If he packs the Supreme Court with new justices, goodbye Second Amendment, goodbye any restrictions on abortion, goodbye to religious freedom and so on. If he does this, his power grab will be complete. He will have all three branches of government.

FTA: "“The Commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform"
From Me: "The Commission's purpose is to force communism down the throats of an unwilling citizenry."
There - - that's a bit more honest.

Who cares what the commission says. Takes 60 votes in the Senate unless Manchin caves.

Our Communist compatriots already have John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett in their pocket. When it counted most they ignored a dispute between the States, with very long-term consequences for the USA. The Heritage Foundation=Federalist Society did enormous damage to our Nation.
What the Commies will do is to pack the D.C. Court of Appeals.

t this point I don't really care. The court rules against the people now and the elections are rigged so we're never going to elect anyone to put good people on the court. Even when we think we do/did, like ACB, they rule against us. I respect Thomas and Alito, but alone they can do nothing.

This will be a politically based commission ruled over by Democrats who already know what the conclusions will be, to establish a political high court always dominated by leftist Democrat judges. Who knows, maybe Mittens Romney will be the RINO selected by the Democrats to sit on their commission. That sounds about right.

Another threat to the Supreme Court to stay away from Trump cases. Let's see what happens when the Dems are out of power and the Republicans dare try this, assuming they have the stones to do it.

And how much will each of these partisan political operatives be paid to be on this commission?

I hope Coward Roberts is proud of himself. Getting the crocodile to eat him last doesn't stop the crocodile from coming eventually. I'd like to know who the Republicans might be on this board, probably RINOS galore.

Is there any way to stop this demented tyrant from seizing power and taking control of the entire country. It is scary and just complaining will not stop him.
