Before he was elected, Joe Biden said if he won he’d put together a commission to study how to make up for what happened while Trump was in the White House and Republicans controlled the Senate. That appears to be exactly what Biden is doing here:
"Biden will today issue an executive order forming the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States, comprised of a bipartisan group of experts on the Court and the Court reform debate." Topics will include SCOTUS size & term limits.https://t.co/brD6fxBpda pic.twitter.com/CUQNGNXNam

So glad we got rid of the guy who didn't respect norms.

The real problem is people like Biden who’ve been in Washington forever, not SCOTUS Justices https://t.co/cntbAtaiEc

How about congressional term limits first, then SCOTUS can be addressed? For some reason they don’t want to go there.
Wouldn't term limits require a Constitutional amendment? That seems like a non-starter.
First day and already making progress. Maybe I should be on that committee.

Reporter: "Don't the voters deserve to know where you stand on court packing?"
Biden: "No, they don't."
