A group of 20 Republican state attorneys general are making their opposition to expanding the Supreme Court known.
The GOP attorneys general penned a letter to President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) calling efforts to expand the Supreme Court a “naked political power grab.”
They wrote, “We believe that such actions will seriously undermine our constitutional system, the public’s confidence in our courts, and the rule of law.”
The attorneys general noted Alexander Hamilton said in the Federalist Papers, “The complete independence of the courts of justice is peculiarly essential in a limited Constitution.”
