Democrats will reportedly unveil a bill Thursday to pack the Supreme Court by expanding the number of justices from nine to thirteen, with the four new vacancies to be filled immediately by President Joe Biden and the Democrat-controlled Senate.
The Intercept reported Wednesday evening:
Congressional Democrats plan to unveil legislation expanding the size of the Supreme Court on Thursday, according to three congressional sources familiar with the closely held measure.
The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13, from the current 9. …
The bill is led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, Subcommittee chair Hank Johnson, and freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones.
In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
The proposal comes less than a week after President Biden signed an executive order creating a commission to study the question of whether the Supreme Court should be expanded. The commission is headed by partisan Democrats. However, left-wing Democrats warned that the commission could be used to thwart their desired changes rather than advancing them.
Democrats began talking about packing the Supreme Court after Justce Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed in 2018. Biden once dismissed the idea, but moved to the left on the issue, as he did on many others. He declined to state his position until late in the 2020 presidential campaign, after the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, when he proposed the commission.
Expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices would give liberal justices a nominal 7-6 majority. Congress can set the size of the Supreme Court without a constitutional amendment, though the last president who tried to pack the Supreme Court, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was opposed by his own party.
His effort is viewed by historians as a crude power grab — but one that ultimately convinced the Court to stop striking down his New Deal legislation and to allow government powers to grow.

This is blatant Treason designed to, usurp evert principle of our government and the Constitution's contract with the American People. The Democrats have finally proven they are working only for their hidden Overlord Masters with the end game being "Destruction of America". The Democrats are once again attempting to usurp the will of the people and stack the supreme court in their favor for political reasons. FDR was the first Demagogue Democrat who tried this when the Supreme Court ruled against the Socialist programs he wanted to institute. Now, the Democrats have been exposed for what they really are, and they are afraid unless they stack the deck permanently in their favor by Loading then Courts, trashing the election systems so they can only work for Democrats, and confiscating our Founder provided for means of protection against an overreaching government in the 2nd Amendment, they will lose all of the support of the people. They have decided to, use a Stalinesque technique of pretending to allow the people to decide but in effect rigging everything for the outcome they want.
It's time for the people to use the section of the Constitution which allows for a bloodless challenge to Governmental Powers, Article-V of the Constitution. so far only Congress has used that option and has pretended like the peoples option did not exist or was too dangerous to be used. I ask you, Dangerous for WHO? Congress is terrified the people will use it because when they do and see the result, the Congress and every government politician will be relegated back to being a servant of the peoples will instead of what they have morphed themselves into, Namely they now think they are our "Lord and Master Rulers".
Did you know when 34 States petition for an Article-V Amendment Proposal Convention Congress by law must convene one then step back and let the people decide what amendments they want to propose or repeal? Don't be frightened by that, because the exact safeguards are present with a states convention as with a congressional proposal. 38 States must agree to ratify any proposal.
what we desperately need are Amendments to curtail the overreach of the government and return the power they stole back to the people.
Things like;
1. Repealing the 17th Amendment and making the Senators subservient to representing their States in Congress instead of their political parties as the Founders wanted them to. For EQUAL REPRESENTATION among all the States in Congress regardless of their size.
2. Repealing the 16th Amendment eliminating Income Tax and returning to apportioned taxation.
3. Balanced Budget Requirements by a certain date after Congress is seated for it's new term and with severe personal penalties for Congress if they fail in doing this.
4. Term Limits for Congress of a combined limit of 12 years total regardless of which house served in.
5. Preventing Government from making Laws and Regulations on Firearms unless there is a 3/4 approval vote by the public in support of those Laws and regulations.
6. Election Reform Laws that prevent Voter Fraud;
Like Vote bundling.
Require Picture Voter ID.
Clearing all voter rolls and requiring everyone to appear in person except those too old, active military, and handicapped to get a picture ID and to get back on voter rolls.
Update and confirm eligible voters on rolls 6 months prior to elections.
Prevent general absentee voting.
Prevent motor voter registrations.
prevent felons from voting unless their rights were restored by a court,
Require Paper ballots and provenance like envelopes kept intact for 3 years after the election, indefinitely if there is a challenge to that election.
Normal handicapped active military and aged absentee to be allowed with verification.
Forbid Electronic voting Machines.
7. Legally define the terms Infringe, Arms, and Militia in the Second Amendment to be defines as;
Infringe;
Government forbidden to make any Law, Regulation, or ruling, without 3/4 vote approval of the voting public. All existing laws rules etc. to be valid until the public can vote on them individually, and all laws rules etc. to be written or re-written in plain English and free from interpretation. In effect say what it means and mean what it says.
Arms;
Using the 1878 Dictionary of commonly agreed on definitions, ARMS means any arm or weapon in existence or to be invented after 1878.
Militia;
Any Adult American citizen over the age of 18 years.
8. Allowing the public to overrule and branch of government law, regulation or ruling with a 7/8 vote of disapproval.
9. Allowing the public to remove any member of Government branch for any reason with 7/8 vote to remove them.
Many more are needed to bring the government back under the peoples control.
