Liberal push to expand Supreme Court is all but dead among Hill Dems – POLITICO

By Thomas A. Smith

But as Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) formally pushes for high court expansion, resurfacing the popular progressive cause in response to the GOP s relentless drive to fill court seats during the Trump years, it s clear that few of Markey s colleagues agree with him.

While liberal measures on election reform, police bias and congressional ethics remain relatively popular with the 50-member Senate majority, expanding the Supreme Court is close to dead among the chamber s Democrats.
