Countering G.O.P. on Courts, Democrats Will Call for Structural Change – The New York Times

WASHINGTON Alarmed at Republicans success at reshaping the federal courts, Democrats plan to use their forthcoming party platform to push for structural court reforms to counter what they describe as a concerted Republican campaign to pack the judiciary with unqualified, partisan judges.

The platform language stops well short of saying what those changes should be. But backers of the plank, which was added during deliberations earlier this week, said the broad statement represents a significant advance toward beginning a conversation among Democrats about how to respond to the substantial imprint that President Trump and his conservative allies have made on the federal bench.
