House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday morning said she does not support Jerrold Nadler’s bill to expand the Supreme Court by four seats.
According to a report by The Intercept, Congressional Democrats, with House Judiciary Chairman Nadler leading the charge, will unveil the new court packing legislation on Thursday.
When asked about Nadler’s bill, Pelosi said she didn’t completely reject the idea of packing the Supreme Court.
She said she supported Joe Biden’s commission to study the proposal.
“No. I support the president’s commission to study such a proposal…I have no plans to bring it to the floor. No.”
