Republicans Vow to Fight Democrats’ Work to Pack the Supreme Court

April 15, 2021

The United States Supreme Court is currently under a 6-3 majority. Conservative justices outweigh their liberal counterparts and Democrats are all too eager to change this.

ier today, Democrat lawmakers submitted the Judiciary Act of 2021. In releasing this legislation, Democrats stated that adding four justices appointed by President Biden will fix a supposedly “illegitimate” majority. Earlier today, Democrat Sen. Ed Markey falsely accused the Republican Party of “stealing” two Supreme Court seats.

In further remarks introducing the Judiciary Act of 2021, Markey declared that “equal justice” will return to SCOTUS if Democrats can successfully pack the court. The Democrat senator then stated that in order to successfully pack the Supreme Court with four liberal justices, an abolition of the Senate filibuster must happen.

Republicans have since responded to the Judiciary Act of 2021 and the wildly false accusations from Democrat lawmakers.

Republicans came out swiftly against Democrats’ work to pack the Supreme Court. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy spoke out against it during an interview with Fox Business earlier today.
