Packing The Court
The confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Barrett to the Supreme Court began on Monday. If confirmed, Judge Barrett will become the first female justice of the Supreme Court to have school age children.
Amid the rancor leading up to these hearings the Democrats have threatened “packing the court” if she is confirmed. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has suggested Democrats would try to pack the court with liberal activist justices by increasing the number of justices. Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has said that all options are on the table if Barrett is confirmed.
