Watch: Psaki Asked if Biden Supports Bill To Increase the Number of Supreme Court Justices

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is being asked what President Joe Biden‘s view is of a newly proposed legislation that would increase the number of justices on the ⚖️Supreme Court from nine to 13.

Fox News’ Kristin Fisher asked Psaki during the White House briefing if the president supports the bill.

“Just last week, the president signed an executive order creating the bipartisan commission on the ⚖️Supreme Court of the United States. A bipartisan group of over 30 Constitutional and legal experts who are examining a range of questions about proposed potential reforms to the ⚖️Supreme Court, Psaki said.

She added, “And one of the issues they’ll look at is, of course, the size of the court, but they’ll also look at the court’s role in the Constitutional system, the length of service, the turnover of justices. And they’re going to come back to the president with a report on what their discussions are and what their findings are. So, he’s going to wait for that to play out and wait to read that report.”

She also said that Biden was not frustrated that Congressional Democrats have drafted the legislation to increase the number of justices on the court.

“He believes that members of Congress have the right to put forward legislation on issues they support. His view is that he wants to hear from this commission that has a range of viewpoints,” Psaki said.
