re: #173 lawhawk

…

There’s value signaling and benefit to Biden going out and saying, we intend to expand the court to match the number of circuits. There’s benefit of saying that we intend to change how the Court is comprised. There’s a political one and a party one. It shows you intend to do something. You’re signaling to the base that you intend to fight on multiple fronts.

But what Biden can actually do is quite limited here. Separation of powers and all - and Congress holds the cards - they write the laws setting the Court’s composition and jurisdiction.

Has Biden been reading LGF? Because it seems like he has - in issuing his call to reform the filibuster to get Roe codified. /half
