Amid the recent calls to pack the court following President Donald Trump’s push to appoint Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the founder of the Article III Project organization said such a move would be tantamount to a “radical assault” on the judicial system.

“Court-packing is a radical assault on judicial independence,” Mike Davis, the founder of the organization, told The Epoch Times on Tuesday. And it differs from “what President Trump and Senate Republicans are doing,” he said, adding they “are filling existing vacancies and doing their job very well.”
